Detainees in Al Jalama: “Olmert is mocking the Palestinian struggle”

author Wednesday June 27, 2007 22:45author by IMEMC Staff Report this post to the editors

Several detainees in Al Jalama Israeli prison stated on Wednesday that the statements and “promises” of the Israeli Prime Minister, Ehud Olmert, to release 250 detainees, are a mockery to the Palestinian struggle and the sacrifices of thousands of martyrs, detainees and injured Palestinians.

The statements of the detainees came as the lawyer of Nafha Society for Detainees visited a number of detainees in Al Jalama.

The detainees stated that they were not surprised of the outcome of the Sharm Al Sheikh Summit in Egypt, which did not differ from previous summits.

The detainees added that while Israel refuses to release all of the Palestinian detainees as part of any peace deal, the Israeli authorities continue to carry illegal practices against the detainees, and continue to torture them and to imprison them under conditions that violate the international law, and all principles of human rights.

They also appealed the capturers of the Israeli corporal Gilad Shalit, not to release them unless Israel agrees to release all detainees who spend many years in prison and the detainees who are sentenced to high terms.
