Arab League urges human rights organizations to end Palestinian detainees suffering

CAIRO, June 1 (KUNA) -- The Arab League called on all international and Arab organizations, led by the Human Rights Council, to redouble efforts and put more pressure on the Israeli occupation authorities to put an end to the suffering of the Palestinian detainees.
This came in a statement Wednesday by the Arab League regarding the trial of the Palestinian prisoner, Mohammad Al-Halabi.
It noted that Al-Halabi, "a father of five children and detained for six consecutive years," tops the list of administrative detainees, as his trial sessions are renewed over a period of 6 years, reaching 170, scheduled for this month, in conditions that lack the lowest conditions of justice.
The Arab League also affirmed that the Israeli occupation authorities are continuing large-scale arrest campaigns in the occupied Palestinian territories, including the administrative detention of more than 650 detainees in the Israeli occupation prisons, within the framework of the policy of collective punishment and aggression against the Palestinian people.
