Palestinian Prisoners: 26,000 Arrests Since October 7
Since October 7, 2023, Israeli prisons have witnessed an unprecedented escalation in the treatment of Palestinian prisoners. This includes widespread arrests—both field and administrative—restrictions on visits, and worsening health and living conditions. According to Amin Shoman, Chairman of the Higher Commission for Prisoners’ Affairs, the number of Palestinian prisoners now exceeds 9,300, including more than 3,100 administrative detainees, with over 26,000 arrests reported since early October. Extensive restrictions have been imposed on prisoners’ rights, including reductions in access to food, clothing, and education, along with increased incidents of abuse and medical neglect. Administrative detention remains in effect across various categories, including released prisoners and activists. The situation for prisoners from Gaza is even more concerning, as international oversight has disappeared and all Red Cross visits have been halted since the start of the war, making it difficult to document abuses. Shoman emphasized that these escalatory measures send a clear message from the occupation of ongoing policies of pressure and punishment, warning that conditions could worsen further if this approach continues. He called for international action to ensure prisoners’ rights and protect them in accordance with international laws.
