Palestinian prisoner advocacy organizations called for an immediate halt to a law permitting executions of Palestinian detainees, Shehab Wire reported. The groups demanded the unconditional and immediate release of all Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli detention, and urged the opening of independent international investigations into torture and neglect crimes.
The organizations characterized the legislation as legalizing the systematic liquidation of prisoners and appealed for urgent international intervention to address the measure.
