Who Palestinian prisoners are [View all]
I kept asking my husband who the Palestinian prisoners are, what their charges are as the exchange is being discussed because he watches more news than do.
I’m sickened to learn that 3,000 of the 8,300 Palestinians in Israel’s prisons are held in what Israel calls ‘administrative detention’. This means they are held without knowing what the charges are against them and without any ongoing legal remedies, any legal process.
I can only imagine the frustration, fear, growing anger, rage at this Kafka-Esque situation.
