Jeddah (UNA-OIC) – The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) expressed deep concern over the conditions of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli occupation jails, following reports that some of them are infected with coronavirus, bear the brunt of continued Israeli arbitrary measures while deprived of their basic rights, including the right to medical treatment.
In a statement issued Monday, the OIC General Secretariat held the Israeli occupation government responsible for the lives of thousands of Palestinian prisoners.
The General Secretariat called on all concerned international parties, especially the United Nations and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to pressure the Israeli occupation government, in order to release all sick prisoners, the elderly, children, women and administrative detainees, as well as ensuring human rights protection for all Palestinian prisoners and ending the continuing violations against them.
