STORYLINE
Sa'adat had spent 19 years in Israeli prisons, on eight separate occasions. He was accused by Israel of organizing the assassination of the Israeli Tourism Minister, Rehavam Ze'evi, and took refuge in the Muqata'a headquarters of PLO leader Yassir Arafat, which was then besieged by Israel after Arafat refused to hand him over to Israel. As part of an agreement with Israel, Sa'adat was tried by the Palestinian National Authority (PNA) and imprisoned in Jericho prison in 2002.
Of the 11,000 Palestinian political prisoners being held captive by Israel, according to Stop the Wall, 450 are children and teenagers,125 are women. Held in "administrative detention" are 1,050 Palestinians, which means they have not been charged with any crime and can be jailed for up to 6 months with the detention renewable indefinitely. According to the Prisoner's Society, 186 Palestinians have died in the 27 Israeli-run prisons.
