Marking the 9th memorial of their rearrest 
 
Abu Baker: we call upon Germany and Egypt to intervene to release the rearrested detainees of Shalit bargain 
 
 
The head of the Commission of Detainees' Affairs, Qadri Abu Baker, called upon Germany and Egypt to intervene immediately to release the detainees of Shalit bargain in 2011, who got rearrested in 2014, in a campaign included 70 of them.
 
Abu Baker hoped from Germany and Egypt, being the sponsors of this bargain, to reopen this file with the Israeli government  and release the 47 detainees who are still detained, such as Nael Barghouthi, who spent 44 years in prison. 
 
He also confirmed that this demand is linked to their relationship with the bargain and its international and regional status. He stated that it is time to force Israel to respect what has been agreed on in 2011, which guaranteed releasing the Israeli soldier Jelaad Shalit.
 
Abu Baker stated that this bargain was guaranteed by an official and international sponsorship represented in Germany and Egypt, and today we are on the threshold of the 9th memorial of the rearresting campaign, we hope from the Egyptian leadership to raise the issue again and to discuss it with the relevant parties. 
 
Abu Baker added "we pay tribute to all detainees who got rearrested, and we call upon all Palestinians and the human rights organisations, unions and Islamic and national factions to bear the national responsibility towards them and to activate their cause at all levels".
 
It is worthy to mention that the bargain was made on October 18, 2011, and they agreed on releasing the Israeli soldier Jelaad Shalit, handing him over to the Egyptian authorities in exchange of releasing 1027 Palestinian detainees, including 477 who were sentenced to life imprisonment and 550 sick, children, elderly and women, except for the detainee Lina Jarbouni. 
It is also worth mentioning that 200 detainees from the West Bank have been deported to Gaza Strip.

Occupation authorities issued (290) orders of administrative detention last month

Occupation authorities issued (290) orders of administrative detention last month 
The Commission of Detainees' Affairs stated that the Israeli occupation authorities had issued (290) orders of administrative detention, including (146) new orders and (144) renewals. The Israeli authorities tend to use the administrative detention as a means of collective punishment against Palestinians. The Commission stated that using this policy in this way comes in implementation of the decisions of the extremist right wing government, headed by Ben Gvir, and also stated that 90% of administrative detainees are former detainees. The administrative detention is a detention without any charge of trial, where the detainee and his lawyer are prevented from knowing the reason behind the detention, which contradicts the rules of International Humanitarian Law. The Israeli occupation authorities allege that administrative detainees have confidential files that could not be revealed, where the detainee does not know his charge nor his sentence.

In implementation of the instructions of the extremist minister Ben Gvir Commission of Detainees' Affairs: the administration of prisons deducts the fees of dental clinic from canteen funds

on . Posted in slider

The Commission of Detainees' Affairs stated that the administration of Israeli prisons started to deduct from the canteen funds allocated to detainees, who have dental diseases due to the policy of medical ignorance. The Commission pointed out that the administration of prisons set the fee to (175) NIS per hour in the dental clinic of the prison, where the period of treatment is determined by the doctor, and he does not exceed the time limit. The Commission indicated that this procedure comes in line with a series of retaliatory measures issued by the right-wing extremist government controlled by the extremist minister Ben Gvir, who calls for turning detainees' lives into hell. The Commission called upon international human rights organisations, especially the World Health Organisation, to intervene immediately and put an end to this inhumane and unethical extremism, and oblige Israel to fulfil its commitments toward Palestinian detainees.
