Palestinian Prisoners’ Institutions: The occupation forces arrested 3,100 Palestinians last month

Palestinian prisoners’ institutions revealed that the Israeli occupation forces arrested 3,100 Palestinians, including 471 children and 42 women, during the last month.

The Palestinian Prisoners’ Institution said in a report  that most of the arrests were concentrated in the occupied Palestinian territories in 1948. The occupation forces arrested 2000 Palestinians, including 291 children, in an attempt to suppress demonstrations rejecting the occupation’s aggression against Palestinians in occupied Jerusalem and the rest of the West Bank and the besieged Gaza Strip.

The report pointed out that the occupation forces arrested 1,100 Palestinians in the West Bank, including 180 children, indicating that most of the arrests were concentrated in occupied Jerusalem.

The institutions indicated that the number of prisoners in the Israeli occupation jails reached 5,300 until the end of May. The prisoners are subjected to the worst types of physical and psychological torture, and they live in extremely difficult conditions that threaten their lives. The institutions renewed their demand for the international community to pressure the occupation authorities to stop their violations against the prisoners and to release them.
