GAZA – The Prisoner Media Office in Gaza has said that at least 9,900 Palestinians are still under detention in the various prisons in Israel and that the figure does not include detainees from Gaza and in specific those held in military camps across Israel.

“The number of prisoners in the occupation’s prisons reached over 9,900 by the beginning of August, and this figure does not include all the detainees from Gaza, specifically those held in military camps”, the office said in a statement.

The office called on the official Palestinian authorities to take effective action on the international and human rights stage to stop these crimes and hold the leaders of the occupation accountable at the International Criminal Court.

“The testimonies of released prisoners from the prisons provide clear evidence, leaving no room for doubt, that the occupation is committing crimes against humanity that must not be tolerated, and that the perpetrators must be pursued”, the office said.

It  called on the Red Cross and human rights organizations and international institutions to visit the prisoners and reveal the crimes the Palestinians are subjected to in Israeli prisons.

“We demand that the occupation be compelled to stop committing the crime of enforced disappearance against prisoners from the Gaza Strip and to disclose their names, fates, and places of detention, holding .it fully responsible for their lives and safety”, the office said on Friday
