Today at Ibn Rushd square in Al Khalil Hebron, Palestinians gathered in
solidarity with all Palestinian prisoners held inside Israeli jails. The
demonstration was organized by the Palestinian Prisoners society and
attended by the president of the society Amjad Najar, members of
political factions and members of the Prisoners Association. The
demonstration was an outright rejection of Israeli pressure on the
Palestinian authority to cut salaries for the families of Palestinian
prisoners inside Israeli jails. Also, to support Palestinians under
administrative detention who are currently boycotting the Israeli legal
system. Israeli military courts have a 99.7% conviction rate and those
held under administrative detention are done so without charge or trial
which can be reviewed every six months for indefinite periods of time.
128 out of 480 administrative detainees are from Al Khalil Hebron.
