GAZA, Dec 19 (KUNA) -- A human rights institution said here on Friday that
Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails were suffering from cold winter and
lack medical care.
The Gaza City-based POWs Center for Studies said that prisoners suffered
more psychological abuse through isolation, adding that these people were also
treated inhumanely by their jailors.
Preventing the families of the detainees from supplying their loved ones
with proper winter clothing led many to fall seriously ill and the Israelis
were not even helping in treating those people, stated the center.
The center called on Arab countries and the international community to put
a halt on Israel violations of human rights.
About 11,000 Palestinians are prisoners in Israel, with some having spent
more than 20 years behind bars. (end)
