*Fares: “ Israel’s practices after October 7 revealed its fascist tendencies”* *March 12, 2024*

*Fares: “ Israel’s practices after October 7 revealed its fascist tendencies”* 
 
 *March 12, 2024* 
 
 The head of the Commission of Detainees’ Affairs, Qaddura Fares, stated “the scenes of destruction, killings, incursions and fascist activities that target all Palestinian cities, especially Gaza, revealed the real tendencies of Isreal, which practices all kinds of fascist crimes against the Palestinian people”. This statement came during receiving a political delegation from the UNESCO, the deputy director of political department Mr. Gregory Rax, and the chiefs in the political sector Mr.Dain Calacas and Bassam Mahu, as they discussed the Palestinian issues, focusing on the cause of detainees and the policy of slow killing practiced against them. Fares illustrated that what is being practiced against Palestinian detainees is unprecedented, and the extent of attacks and assaults threaten their lives. Fares emphasized that the information on the conditions in prisons since October 7 reflects the occupation’s faith in crime, as Israel pursued the policy of collective punishment deliberately against detainees and their families, where they intended to destroy house belongings and attacking them in a brutal manner. Fares narrated information on male and female detainees in terms of the cruel conditions imposed on them, crimes committed against them in addition to the policy of starvation, where each detainee lost 10 kgs of his weight. Moreover, he stated that detainees where subjected to beating, torture and executions, deprivation of using canteen and going to the prison’s courtyard, deprivation of medicine and suspension of family and lawyers visits. He expressed his disappointment from the attitude of the international community, as all of us witnessed the uprising erupted for the sake of Ukraine, which gained international resolutions on its favor. At the same time, the international community kept silent and did not move to put an end to the Israeli crimes. On the contrary , there were many initiatives to help Israel in its genocide against Gaza. Fares called on the UNESCO through the delegation, to take a real action towards the Palestinian people in general and detainees in particular, as peace is a demand for people all over the world, and Palestinians are part of this system and deserve to live as all people around the world. This requires practical steps from the UNISCO and all bodies of the United Nations.

Mother’s Day in time of genocide The Israeli occupation is depriving (28) mothers of their sons

 Mother’s Day in time of genocide

The Israeli occupation is depriving (28) mothers of their sons

March 21, 2024

Ramallah
The Commission of Detainees’ Affairs and the Palestinian Society Prisoner’s Club stated that (28) mothers out of (67) detainees held in Israeli prisons are deprived of their families and children, including detainees’ mothers, wives, sisters and former detainees who spent many years in Israeli prisons, in addition to a martyr’s mother, the detainee Fatima Shamali, and a wounded detainee Rana Eid.

The Commission and the Prisoner’s Club said in a joint statement on the occasion of Mother’s Day, which coincides with the continuous genocide in Gaza, and led to the martyrdom of thousands of mothers and children, that thousands of children were deprived of their mothers, and thousands of mothers are deprived of their children. Besides, there are many mothers from Gaza who are detained in Israeli camps and the Israeli government is pursuing the policy of forcible hide against them. It is worth mentioning that the occupation forces implemented collective detention campaigns against women from Gaza after October 7, including mothers and grandmothers, and currently there are 4 women detainees from Gaza in Israeli prisons.

In the light of the horrible crimes committed against the Palestinian mothers, this day is not only for celebrating the exceptional sacrifices of the Palestinian mothers, who face killing displacement, detention and threats since decades, but also it is a day that reflects the unprecedented level of crimes implemented after October 7, which are still carried out by Israel with the support of international powers. The whole world are celebrating this days in their own way, excluding the Palestinian mothers, in the light of the absence of a real international will to end the occupation and stop its escalated crimes.

The Commission and the Prisoner’s Club emphasized that the occupation authorities escalated crimes and torture at different levels against women detainees including mothers, which has been reflected in tens of testimonies documented by competent authorities, in addition to testimonies documented by the legal team over the past months, as the majority of women detainees are held in Damoun prison.

Crimes and violations committed by the Israeli occupation against Palestinian women including mothers were unprecedented, as they have been arrested as hostages to put pressure on their husbands to surrender themselves, held in cruel conditions, attacked during detention campaigns, exposed to field interrogation and sexual assault, besides to medical crimes against sick ones.

The majority of detained mothers were arrested under the charge of incitement or administrative detention. In this context, the commission and the prisoner’s club said that in spite of our recurrent calls over the past decades to stop the systematic crimes of the occupation, no one responded. We recall upon international feminists organizations to take their humane and ethical responsibilities and stop the terrible crimes committed against Palestinian women, especially detainees in Israeli prisons.

(320) detainees in Jelboa prison are living in deadly conditions
 
The Commission of Detainees’ Affairs stated in report issued today that (320) detainees are living in hell inside Jelboa prison, due to the Israeli policies carried out after October, that turned prisons into slaughterhouses in which detainees are exposed to beating and torture, and led to many executions against detainees of Gaza, the West Bank and the lands occupied in 1948. The legal unit in the commission visited detainee ( R. Y) from the city of Tulkarem, who is sentenced to life imprisonment, where the detainee cited: “they invaded the prison on October 8 in a brutal and provocative manner, tied our hands to the back and started to beat us on each part of our bodies. They confiscated our personal possessions and did not take into consideration the bad conditions of sick detainees and elderly. They deprived us from the prison’s courtyard, smoking and clothes. They also confiscated razors and nail clippers and canceled the organizational representation. We were prevented from going to the prison’s clinic and having medication. The reality is more cruel”. The Commission warned of the continuation of this fascist hatred of the occupying state against our detainees, as it does not make sense to keep silent in front of this organized crimes, which reveal the real face of tge occupation’s gangs. The violations and crimes took place in Jelboa and other Israeli prisons, are an actual evidence of disappointment and subordination of the international system and its organizations. It is worth mentioning that Jelboa prison contains three sections and it is overcrowded, where torture and assault is practiced against detainees even before October 7, especially that this prison has witnessed the heroic escape operation, in which six detainees were able to flee and went around the lands of Palestine for many days before they got rearrested.
