Over the first four days of Israel-Hamas prisoner exchange, Israel arrests 133 Palestinians while releasing 150.

But the worry for Palestinian prisoners does not end after their release. The majority of those freed are usually rearrested by Israeli forces in the days, weeks, months and years after their release.

Dozens of those who were arrested in a 2011 Israel-Hamas prisoner exchange were rearrested and had their sentences reinstated.

Many of the women and children released during the truce have testified to the abuse they experienced in Israeli prisons.

Several videos have also emerged in recent weeks of Israeli soldiers beating, stepping on, abusing and humiliating detained Palestinians who have been blindfolded, cuffed and stripped either partially or entirely. Many social media users said the scenes brought back memories of the torture tactics used by United States forces in Iraq’s Abu Ghraib prison in 2003.

    oh yes you can… However when you are sentenced for stabbing two people literally like at least one of the prisonner freed you are not, in fact an hostage

      That explains 1 in 5200.

      Only 5199 to go to explain it all away: so go on, don’t be shy.

      I would love to hear how you explain the ones in administrative detention (guilty of the crime of “walking whilst being Arab”?!)

      And don’t get me started on all the kids convicted of “assauting with stones an armored digger razing their home” and the palestinians convicted of “hurting ‘colonist’ fists with their faces” or “defending their homes from a superior race”.

      you must really believe in 13/50 eh? or does racism stop being a factor when you do enough of it?
