APAIMages - APAIMages CLIENTS ONLY, RAMALLAH - 19 April 2019. Palestinians attend the show of a dramatic film tells the reality of prisoners, at Red Crescent theater, in the West Bank city of Ramallah.
STORYLINE - The movie comes as Palestinians mark the National Prisoner's Day, Palestinians are marking Prisoners' Day to honour the thousands of men, women and children held as political prisoners in Israel.
On 17 April, the Palestinian people commemorate Palestinian Prisoners' Day, to honor the nearly one million Palestinian men, women, and children Israel has detained since the beginning of the conflict. On this day, Palestinians honor those who have sacrificed their freedom and endured abuse, torture, and injustice so that their people may enjoy their fundamental right to freedom, dignity, and justice.
Today, 5,700 Palestinians, including 250 children, are held captive in Israeli prisons and detention centers, enduring deplorable conditions and subjected to systematic and grave human rights violations. In addition to live prisoners, Israel also detains the bodies and remains of nearly 400 Palestinians it has killed and keeps them in unmarked graves and morgues in an act of extreme cruelty and collective punishment against their loved ones.
Israel's policy of mass incarceration aims to break the will of the Palestinian people and crush them into submission. Tried in sham military courts that fail the most basic tests of due process, Palestinians, including children as young as 12, face predetermined and certain conviction. Compounding this system of injustice is the prolific human rights abuses against Palestinian detainees, including the use of torture and other inhumane treatment.
