Red Cross addresses Palestinian prisoners' visit ban
Israel has renewed the ban on visits by the families of Palestinian prisoners in detention centers, despite a Supreme Court decision that deemed this ban illegal. The authorities also continue to prevent the International Red Cross Committee from accessing the prisoners, depriving them of international oversight of their conditions. This measure forms part of a broad retaliatory policy aimed at isolating prisoners and committing violations such as torture, starvation, medical neglect, and enforced disappearances, all in the absence of international monitoring. The Palestinian Prisoners Club has called on the international community to pressure Israel to remove the obstacles it places in front of the Red Cross’s role and to end the prohibition policy, which constitutes a serious violation of international law and the Geneva Conventions.
