Yasmin Al-Barsh, wife of Palestinian physician Adnan Al-Barsh who died under torture in Israeli detention, called for pressure on Israeli authorities to release Palestinian bodies held by the occupation, Shehab Wire reported. Al-Barsh urged officials to enable families to exercise their humanitarian rights regarding the detained remains.
The appeal comes as Palestinian families continue to seek the return of bodies withheld by Israeli authorities, a practice that has drawn international criticism for preventing families from conducting proper burials according to Islamic tradition.
