STORYLINE:
Palestinians marched in the West Bank city of Ramallah on Wednesday to mark Palestinian Prisoner’s Day.
Some waved Palestinian flags and held pictures of their relatives in Israeli prisons as they gathered in Manara Square.
The fate of prisoners is an emotional issue for Palestinians as nearly all know someone in Israel’s ever-revolving prison door.
"Our prisoners are slowly dying under these oppressive policies, that we can call despicable and unjust," said protester Nisreen Abu Gharbiyeh, whose son Fadi Abu Gharbiyeh has been detained for the last two years.
Palestinian activists and human rights watchdogs say Israel’s mass detentions seek to sow fear among the youngest, breaking communities that continue to defy Israeli military rule, now in its 57th year.
Palestinian detainees in Israeli prisons have alleged that they suffer from regular beatings, medical neglect, and hunger.
Israel has detained thousands of Palestinians since it launched its military campaign in Gaza in retaliation for Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, attack on southern Israel.
It says it detains those it suspects of links to Hamas and does releases when it determines they are not connected to the militants.
During the two-month ceasefire, Israel released hundreds of imprisoned Palestinians in return for the release of hostages held by Hamas in Gaza.
