GAZA, (PIC)-- Al-Mizan center for human rights strongly denounced the Israeli occupation forces for deliberately killing Palestinians especially children, calling for activating the principle of punishment to curb and prosecute Israeli leaders and soldiers for their repeated crimes.
The center said it documented many premeditated shooting incidents against Palestinian civilians including farmers and children which happened at a distance of more than one kilometer inside the Gaza Strip despite the fact that Israeli warnings ordered Gazans to stay 500 meters away from the borderline.
In a separate incident, Palestinian prisoners in Petah Tikva interrogation center told the lawyer of the international Tadamun (solidarity) foundation for human rights that a number of them suffered food poisoning after they ate rotten food severed to them by the center administration last Wednesday.
They added that one of the Israeli doctors in the prison only gave each prisoner one Akamol pill for pain relief.
The foundation appealed to human rights organizations and the Red Cross to necessarily intervene to ensure that Palestinian prisoners receive appropriate health care inside Israeli jails and to follow up their health conditions especially in the Ramle military hospital.
For its part, the Palestinian ministry of prisoners’ affairs called on the Arab League, which convened Saturday to discuss the issue, to take bold and concrete decisions to support the steadfastness of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails and to unveil the true face of the Israeli occupation and its racist practices against them.
Information director of the ministry Riyadh Al-Ashqar said Saturday that the Arabs should go beyond the process of condemnation and denunciation and take effective and serious steps to help Palestinian prisoners whose incarceration conditions deteriorate everyday and their rights are violated.
Ashqar added that the Arab League should activate the legal side and form competent committees to deal with the files of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails and refer their issue to the UN to pressure Israel to cease its repressive practices against them.
