RESTRICTION SUMMARY: APAwire CLIENTS ONLY SHOTLIST: APAwire - APAwire CLIENTS ONLY, Gaza - 06 July 2022. Palestinians take part in a protest to show solidarity with prisoners held in Israeli jails, in front of Red cross office in Gaza city. 0.1 SOUNDBITE (in Arabic) Muhammad Al-Shiqaqi, director of the media department at the Mohaja Al-Quds Foundation 0.2 SOUNDBITE (in Arabic) The representative of the Islamic Jihad movement in the prisoners’ committee for the national and Islamic forces in Gaza, Yasser Mezher, STORYLINE: Under Israeli military law army commanders have full executive, legislative and judicial authority over 3 million Palestinians living in the West Bank. Palestinians have no say in how this authority is exercised. According to the latest figures from Addameer, the Palestinian Prisoner Support and Human Rights Association, there are currently 4,450 Palestinian political prisoners in Israeli prisons and detention centers. This number includes approximately 530 Palestinians placed under “administrative detention”, that allows the detention of Palestinians without charge or trial for renewable intervals ranging between three and six months based on undisclosed evidence that even a detainee’s lawyer is barred from viewing. Mass arrest of Palestinians is nothing new. According to a 2017 report by Addameer, over the past 50 years, more than 800,000 Palestinians have been imprisoned or detained by Israel, this figure is now believed to be closer to 1 million. This means that about 40% of Palestinian men and boys living under military occupation have been deprived of their freedom. Almost every Palestinian family has suffered the imprisonment of a loved one. Footage by /APA
