| Report About the Arab Detainees in the Israeli Prisons (17/04/2001) 
The Follow-Up Committee for the
Support of the Lebanese Detainees in the Israeli Prisons celebrates every
year the day of the Arabic Captive in the Israeli Prisons which comes with
the 23 memory of detaining Samir Al-Kuntar the Leader of the Lebanese
Captives.
The occasion came this year when all
the Palestinian towns and villages turned to bloody prison due to the savage
war built by the Israeli occupation forces against the Palestinian people
using all ways of illegal killing, by bombing citizen houses with
helicopters and assassinates.
We used to call Arabic captive
detainees “Living martyrs” but today the Palestinians people became “Living
martyrs”.
The memory of the Arabic captive
is a voice to the world to remember our captives and to demand to liberate
them and save Palestinian people from daily massacres by the Israeli gangs.
The number of the Arabic detainees
in the Israeli prisons:
The Israeli prisons still contain
1760 Palestinian captive distributed in 11 prisons. There are 40 detainees
from the Arabic captives including 14 Lebanese captives and 4 Syrian from
Al-Joulan Hill with 4 Jordanian too.
Since 1967 till now the number of the
captives are 850 thousands, their number during “Oslo Agreement” was 12500
captives so Israel used those Arabic captive to make pressure on
Palestinians for its benefit after finding the Palestinian official is weak,
the captives should be released before the negotiation and signing
agreements.
Today detainees suffer from torturing
where prisons management starts to separate detainees according to their
political believes and where they live, they separated the detainees of
Palestinian Liberation Organization from Hamas detainees, also separated
Hamas detainees from Al-Jihad Al-Islami, and also separated Al-Kouds
detainees from Al-Deffa and Ghaza detainees. The Israeli occupation forces
are still practicing physical and psychological ways in torturing detainees;
also the patients receive rude treatments at hospitals. They tide their
hands and legs and they are not allowed to go out side their rooms in
addition to loss of the medicines and their actions.
The detainees rooms are filled
with bugs, cock roach, and scorpions. Their families face a lot of
difficulties to visit them.
The detainees face these
suppresses actions by strikes on food, and by resistance although they have
been detained for 25 years, some of them like Lebanese captives who live
with Palestinian and Arabs in one community, and the Palestinian families
take care of Arabic captives as their children.
The Lebanese detainees expressed a
rare human attitude when they refuse to be free unless all the Arabic and
Palestinian captives are free too.
Today we celebrate this international
humanism and nationalism, we confirm everyone to make the day of the Arabic
captive the day of the Joint Liberty with Palestinian uprising and
Palestinian captives and demanding to organize Arabic and International
campaign for their freedom and saving them from Israeli prisons prompting to
share us in the day of Arabic captives.
