#FreeThemAll: Palestine advocates call to free all Palestinian administrative detainees in Israeli jails
Occupied Palestine (QNN)- Palestinian and pro-Palestine advocates have launched an online campaign calling to free all Palestinian detainees held in administrative detention in Israeli jails without a charge or trial.
Using the hashtag #FreeThemAll, the advocates have been tweeting while urging to free all the Palestinian detainees held in administrative detention inside the Israeli jails without a charge or trial, as there are around 520 Palestinian administrative detainees, according to the Palestinian Prisoner Society (PPS).
The PPS said that there are 4650 Palestinian prisoners held in 23 Israeli prisons, and detention and interrogation centers, including 200 minors, 40 women, 544 of them are serving one or more life sentences and around 520 Palestinians are held in administrative detention.
The online campaign aims at exposing the suffering of the Palestinian detainees in the Israeli jails and the racist policies which detainees face in Israeli prisons, especially after six Palestinian political prisoners managed to free themselves on September 6 2021, from Gilbou prison, a high-security Israeli prison, through a secret tunnel they had reportedly dug beneath the prison.
Six Palestinian prisoners dig a tunnel for years and escape from high security Israeli prison. May all Palestinians break free of their chains &prisons. The open air prison of Gaza, Israel’s apartheid prison, all of them. #FreeThemAll #Palestinian #Freedom https://t.co/8ltQAmPFkW

all prisoners in the west bank incarcerated by israel are illegally incarcerated under international law, as the west bank is internationally recognized occupied territory. the escape of 6 palestinian prisoners last night is a huge win and must be celebrated! #FreeThemAll

Moreover, since the start of 2021, around 40 Palestinian detainees started hunger strike in protest against the unfair administrative detention without a charge or trial in Israeli jails.
Today, the number of the hunger-striking Palestinian detainees becomes six, all of them with deteriorating health conditions, as they suffer from health problems and loss of weight, the longest hunger-striking prisoner has been on a hunger strike for 56 days.
Administrative detention is illegal under international law, however, the occupation state uses it to repress the Palestinian people.
‘Israel’ routinely uses administrative detention and has, over the years, placed thousands of Palestinians behind bars for periods ranging from several months to several years, without charging them, without telling them what they are accused of, and without disclosing the alleged evidence to them or to their lawyers.
