799 martyrs identified before Martyrs' Remains Day
On the anniversary of Youth Day and the recovery of the bodies of the martyrs, the National Campaign for the Recovery of Martyrs' Bodies and parental organizations affirmed that the issue of holding bodies and missing persons remains one of the most prominent manifestations of Israeli crimes. Approximately 1,700 martyrs are currently held, including 799 whose identities have been verified, among them 256 in numbered graves, 99 prisoners, 81 children, and 10 female martyrs. There are thousands more missing, and documenting their cases faces significant difficulties. The detention of bodies is a long-term policy used as a means of control and punishment. It also involves imposing coercive conditions upon their delivery, such as nighttime burials and strict security measures, which deepen the suffering of families and prevent them from bidding farewell to their loved ones. The campaign emphasized the need to investigate the circumstances of holding these bodies, especially those delivered in a frozen or damaged state, to ensure respect for the dignity of the deceased. They also stressed that continuing this approach hampers justice efforts and the rights of families, constituting a violation of international standards. They called for opening files related to the missing persons and bodies, conducting transparent investigations, and urged the international community to take urgent action to end these practices, restore rights to their owners, and uphold the dignity of the Palestinian people and the rights of the martyrs' families.
