Israeli Supreme Court Holds Session for Shalit Swap Detainees
Picture
A session was held this past Tuesday, by the Israeli Supreme Court, to discuss the appeal submitted by seven detainees who were freed among the “Shalit” swap deal and who were kidnapped last year, after the disappearance of three settlers from Hebron.

The Wadi Hilweh Information Center in Silwan reports that the prisoners and their families asked the media and international organizations to attend the court session and discuss their case.

The kidnapped prisoners wrote a letter stating: “The occupation forces rearrested us in June 2014 as revenge to the kidnapping of three Israeli settlers in the area of Hebron. They did not provide any legal justifications or an evidence to convict us.

"The prosecution also refuses to reveal the confidential files that they claim to have and the Israeli committee of 'freed prisoner' decided to impose life sentences on us, and identified the life sentence as 40 years in prison, minus what we have already served in the past.”

The prisoners pointed out that some of them were married immediately after being released in 2011 and some had newborn kids that they haven’t seen yet; note that most of the prisoners had already spent more than 20 years in Israeli prisons.

The prisoners are:

Ismaeel Abdullah Hijazi- Jabal Al-Mukabber
Jamal Hammad Abu Saleh- Silwan
Rajab Mohammad Tahan- Ras Al-Amoud
Adnan Mohammad Maragha- Silwan
Ala’ Eddin Ahmad Bazian- Old City of Jerusalem
Naser Mousa Abed Rabbo- Sur Baher

Picture
Lawyer of the Wadi Hilweh Information Center in Silwan (Silwanic) said the Israeli police violently attacked, and beat, on Monday evening, a child who was kidnapped in Wad al-Jouz neighborhood, in occupied Jerusalem.

He said that the child Majd Ramadi, 16 years of age, suffered various cuts and bruises to the face, back and other parts of his body, especially after the soldiers dragged him onto the ground while abducting him.

The child was moved to a hospital, as he needed stitches to his face and inner cheeks, and also suffered facial bruises, in addition to various cuts and bruises to his back, in addition a visible eye bruising.

On Tuesday, the District Court in Jerusalem held a hearing in which the Israeli prosecutor alleged the child hurled a Molotov cocktail on the soldiers in Wadi al-Jouz neighborhood.

The lawyer said, when the child was sent to court, signs of torture and exhaustion were clearly visible.

Picture
The Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) re-imposed Thursday the previous sentence of the female ex-detainee Haniyeh Naser who was re-arrested few months ago after being released during Wafa al-Ahrar deal.

Palestinian Prisoners Center for Studies said that an Israeli court re-imposed on the ex-detainee Haniyeh Naser, 25, her previous sentence estimated at 28 months.

Naser, who is currently held in Hasharon prison, was re-arrested from her family’s home on December 10, 2014 during an Israeli large-scale arrest campaign targeting Palestinian ex-detainees who were released during Wafa al-Ahrar swap deal in 2011.

She was first arrested on September 12, 2011 at an Israeli military checkpoint for allegedly holding a knife to stab an Israeli soldier.

Naser spent three months out of her 28-month sentence before being released in the swap deal in 2011.

24 women, including four minors and 4 ex-prisoners, are currently held in Hasharon prison amid very difficult detention conditions.

Israeli forces violently disperse al-Tur rally against road closure
Picture
A protester holds a sign reading "No to collective punishment.

Israeli polices forces violently dispersed a Palestinian protest in the occupied East Jerusalem village of al-Tur on Wednesday, amid complaints that authorities' closure of the village's main road is a form of "collective punishment" against locals.

Sources told Ma'an that dozens of residents of the neighborhood on the Mount of Olives as well as foreign activists carried out a sit-in on al-Tur's main street to protest Israeli authorities' decision to shut down major thoroughfare Suleiman al-Farsi street with two concrete blocks.

The street was closed earlier this week when locals protested against the death of a 17-year-old boy from the area who was shot dead after a scuffle with a soldier at a nearby checkpoint.

Mufid Abu Ghannam, director of a local activist committee, told Ma'an that Israeli forces assaulted protesters on Wednesday and launched stun grenades at sit-in participants, injuring two people with shrapnel in their lower extremities. Israeli forces also reportedly detained two Palestinian protesters, Amjad al-Shami and Youssef Khuweis.Abu Ghannam said that even after protesters had dispersed, Israeli forces continued firing stun grenades at people in the area.

Israeli police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld confirmed the incident, saying that police used stun grenades against protesters after they blocked roads in what he called an "illegal demonstration" in which "stones were thrown at police officers who were at the scene."

Rosenfeld denied any injuries in the incident. The sit-in on the main street of al-Tur was held concurrently with rallies at five schools in the village, where students carried out sit-ins in school yards in protest against the closure of the village's entrance.

Suleiman al-Farsi Street is considered the main entrance to the village, and local activists told Ma'an that the closure of the road negatively affected the ability of 3,000 local residents to live normally. The closure also prevents ambulances and fire trucks from reaching the village.

The thoroughfare is also the main road leading to the Suleiman al-Farsi mosque, the village cemetery, and two elementary schools where some 1,200 students attend. The closure of the roads followed widespread protests against the killing of Muhammad Abu Ghannam on Saturday as he crossed the al-Zayyim checkpoint on foot resulted in widespread protests.

A soldier at the checkpoint reportedly insulted Abu Ghannam's sister, leading to a scuffle, while Israeli authorities have alleged the boy pulled a knife on the soldier.
Israeli municipal authorities routinely close and block major roads leading into Palestinian neighborhoods of occupied East Jerusalem.

In addition to Al-Tur, another major road into the nearby town of al-Issawiya was also shut closed.Abu Ghannam was one of three Palestinians shot dead by Israeli forces in the last week.

Although Palestinians in occupied East Jerusalem live within territory Israel has unilaterally annexed, they lack citizenship rights and are instead classified only as "residents" whose permits can be revoked if they move away from the city for more than a few years. Jerusalem Palestinians face discrimination in all aspects of life including housing, employment, and services, and are unable to access services in the West Bank due to the construction of Israel's separation wall.

Tensions have been running high in East Jerusalem since last summer when Jewish extremists raided the area and kidnapped and murdered a 16-year-old Palestinian boy, Muhammad Abu Khdeir.Israeli forces have detained hundreds of Palestinians across East Jerusalem who have taken part in protests, especially against Israel's summer assault on Gaza, including 600 alone in the two months after Abu Khdeir's death.

The Office said that Kalouti suspended the strike based on an agreement with the IPS to transfer him in an ambulance to an Israeli hospital outside jail to conduct a surgery.

Kalouti started an open hunger strike on Tuesday to protest the policy of medical neglect adopted by IPS against Palestinian sick prisoners.

He has been suffering from several diseases including asthma, gout, arthritis, high blood pressure, and severe pains in the colon and stomach for the past four years.

Captive Kalouti was arrested on September 11, 2001 and sentenced to six life imprisonment terms.

Picture
The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) at dawn Tuesday rounded up seven Palestinians from the West Bank and Occupied Jerusalem, including a 15-year-old minor.

Sources based in Occupied Jerusalem said the IOF troops rolled into al-Issawiya town and scoured a number of Palestinian homes shortly before they kidnapped the citizens Ali Mahmoud, Morad al-Shloudi, Mahmoud Abdul Rauf, and Mohamed Atiyeh.

Tension has been running high in the area after the IOF shot the Palestinian boy Ali Abu Ghannam dead on allegations of attempting to stab an Israeli officer at the Zaim checkpoint, in eastern Jerusalem.

The IOF campaign culminated in the abduction of the 15-year-old minor Maher Samer Sarhan shortly after he was heavily beaten by the Israeli soldiers.

“The soldiers hit me with their boots and batons as soon as I tried to inquire about the reason for the arrest, especially that no clashes or protests cropped up in the area,” the Wadi Helwa Information Center quoted Sarhan as reporting.

Meanwhile, the Israeli occupation army apprehended two allegedly wanted Palestinian citizens from the southern West Bank cities of Bethlehem and al-Khalil after having broken into and wreaked havoc on their family homes.

Palestinian prisoners describe physical abuse in Israeli jails
Picture
Two Palestinian prisoners in the Etzion detention center have told a Palestinian Authority prisoners' committee that they were beaten by Israeli forces during interrogation.

A lawyer with the PA Detainees and Ex-detainees Affairs Committee Hussein al-Sheikh reported that prisoner Yazan Yusri Taha, 22, from Hebron was severely beaten on his head and body when he was detained on April 19.

Taha, who was seized by Israeli forces in front of the judicial court in Hebron, told al-Sheikh that he was beaten while being taken to the Kiryat Arba police station in an Israeli military vehicle.

Al-Sheikh also relayed that Sharaf al-Fakhouri, 23, from Hebron was beaten on his back and face when he and his brother were detained from the al-Seil area in the Old City of Hebron.Al-Fakhouri reported that they were assaulted and beaten on the head and chest with the soldiers' rifle butts.

Palestinian prisoners frequently report Israeli practices inside prison facilities that are tantamount to torture.According to human rights group Addameer, "The forms of torture and ill treatment employed against Palestinian prisoners" include "beatings, tying prisoners in 'stress positions', interrogation sessions that last up to 12 consecutive hours, depriving prisoners of sleep and other sensory deprivation, isolation and solitary confinement, and threats against the lives of their relatives."

Addameer adds: "In past instances, detainees have died while in custody as a result of torture," noting that such practices are in contravention of international law, "including the United Nations Convention against Torture (CAT), ratified by Israel on 3 October 1991."

The Detainees and Ex-detainees Affairs Committee reported in January that Palestinian children in Israeli jails are also subjected to torture and physical abuse.

Trial Of Detained Legislator Postponed Until Further Notice
Picture
The head of the Legal Unit of the Prisoner Support and Human Rights Association (Ad-Dameer), Lawyer Mahmoud Hassan, stated Tuesday that the Ofer Israeli military court decided to postpone the Wednesday trial of Legislator Khaleda Jarrar until further notice.

The army kidnapped the 52-year-old legislator, senior political leader of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), and a democratically elected legislator, on April 2, 2015.

Hassan said the defense team has asked the Military Judge in Ofer for a continuance as the military prosecutor never provided additional materials related to the case of the detained official.

Three days after the soldiers abducted Jarrar from her home in central West Bank city of Ramallah, the Israeli military court issued a six-month arbitrary Administrative Detention against her, holding her without charges.

On April 15, the military prosecutor filed an indictment of twelve charges against the feminist leader, including “membership with an illegal organization,” and “holding and participating in protests in solidarity with political prisoners.” 

Army Kidnapped Six Palestinians
Picture
Israeli soldiers kidnapped, on Tuesday at dawn, four young Palestinian men in occupied East Jerusalem, in addition to one Palestinian in Bethlehem, and one in Hebron.

The Wadi Hilweh Information Center (Silwanic) have reported that the soldiers stormed a number of homes, and searched them, in the al-‘Eesawiyya town, in occupied Jerusalem, and kidnapped four young man.

The kidnapped Palestinian has been identified as Ibrahim Fuad ‘Amrin, 22 years of age.

Several armored military vehicles also invaded Beit Ummar town, north of the southern West Bank city of Hebron, and kidnapped a Palestinian man, identified as Nasser Mohammad Abu ‘Ayyash, 50 years of age.

Mohammad ‘Awad, spokesperson of the Popular Committee against the Wall and Settlements in Beit Ummar, said the soldiers also confiscated the Abu ‘Ayyash’s car, before moving him to the Etzion military base, north of Hebron.

The army conducts daily invasions and arrests in different parts of the occupied West Bank, including in and around occupied East Jerusalem, as part of ongoing violations against the Palestinians and their property.

Captive Kalouti goes on open hunger strike
Picture
Prisoners Media Office revealed that the sick detainee Hamza al-Kalouti started an open hunger strike on Tuesday to protest the policy of medical neglect adopted by Israeli Prison Service (IPS).

The Office mentioned that Kalouti, 45, from Jerusalem, has been suffering from several diseases including asthma, gout, arthritis, high blood pressure, and severe pains in the colon and stomach for four years.   

The IPS, however, has been procrastinating in providing him with treatment. Instead, he receives pain killers only.

The Office charged the IPS with full responsibility over the life of prisoner Kalouti and called on the human rights organizations to pressure the Israeli occupation to halt its punitive practices against Palestinian detainees.

The IPS executes Palestinian captives very slowly by the policy of systematic medical negligence. Many of the patient prisoners died inside jail or shortly after being released due to health deterioration. The last case was martyr Jaafar Awad.

Injuries reported among Jihad-affiliated prisoners
Picture
Fares Sada

Palestinian prisoners, affiliated with Jihad Movement, stated that a number of their colleagues were transferred to hospital after being injured during an Israeli violent night raid on section 6 in Negev prison.

In a letter sent to Muhjet al-Quds Institution, the prisoners affirmed that a state of tension has been prevailing since Sunday evening as the Israeli Prison Service (IPS) imposed a set of punitive measures and tight sanctions on prisoners held in Negev prison. 

The punitive measures include confiscating the prisoners’ personal belongings, handcuffing all the prisoners held in section 24, depriving the prisoners from purchasing food and other basic necessities from the prison canteen. 

The IPS cut off electricity in Negev prison as a prelude to its Special Forces’ violent break-in into the wards, the institution reported.

During a night right, Israeli forces deliberately provoked Palestinian prisoners held in Negev prison, enraging the prisoner Fares Sada, 20, who, in response, attacked one of the soldiers with a sharp object.

The Israeli soldiers immediately intervened and violently attacked Fares before taking him to solitary confinement.

Muhjet Quds Institution held the IPS fully responsible over Fares’s life, considering the stab operation as a natural reaction to the Israeli punitive measures and provocative practices against Palestinian prisoners.
