The use of detention and imprisonment by the Israeli occupation forces is a long-used tactic to harass, intimidate and weaken Palestinian resistance to the occupation. A new report highlights the extent of this policy, by reporting that there are over 7,000 Palestinians in Israeli jails, many of whom are sick, or being held without charge, or children. There are many international campaigns against this repression including focusing on particular individuals like Ahmad Sa’adat and Georges Abdallah, and Ayman Nasser.
