An-Najah News - The Prisoners Club said that the occupation authorities continue to detain the bodies of five dead prisoners.

On Monday, the Prisoners Club stated that the oldest martyrs whose bodies were held dead are Anis Dawla from Qalqilya, who died in 1980 in Ashkelon Prison, the martyr Aziz Aweysat from Jerusalem who died in 2018, and three prisoners died in 2019, they are: Fares Baroud from Gaza, Nassar Taqatqa from Bethlehem, and Bassam Al-Sayeh from Nablus.

The Prisoners club indicated that 223 prisoners have died in the occupation prisons since 1967, as a result of the policies of torture, intentional killing, or direct shooting at them, in addition to the most prominent policy that led to the martyrdom of 68 prisoners, which is the policy of medical neglect (slow killing).

It is noteworthy that the bodies of four the prisoners are among 60 martyrs who have continued to detain their bodies since 2015.

In this context, the Prisoners Club affirmed that the occupation authorities did not only carry out the murder of the Palestinians, but rather continued their crime through the policy of detaining their bodies, which constitutes a violation of the provisions and rules of international humanitarian law, which constituted one of its most prominent historical policies against Palestinian martyrs.

Yesterday, the occupation authorities handed over the body of the martyr 22^nd of April in the “Negev” prison.
