April 17, known as Palestinian Prisoner’s Day, serves to commemorate the struggle of nearly 10,000 Palestinians detained in Israeli prisons, including a startling number of children. As the political prisoner count doubles since the start of the recent war, Israel's detention practices face scrutiny, particularly the treatment of around 400 minors who undergo military court trials without basic legal rights. The day symbolizes resistance against the ongoing oppression endured by these detainees, spotlighting individual cases like Ahmad Manasra's, which encapsulates the dire reality of Israel's military justice system.
Israel's political prisoner population has soared, with nearly 10,000 Palestinians detained, including 3,498 held without charge and alarming numbers of children and women.
Every year on April 17, Palestinians commemorate Prisoner's Day, honoring detained individuals and highlighting Israel's ongoing violations of rights amid their occupation.
The case of Ahmad Manasra exemplifies the harsh realities faced by child prisoners, as he was arrested at 13, tortured during interrogation, and convicted under severe conditions.
Around 400 Palestinian children, often detained without trial, endure military court procedures that disregard their basic rights, highlighting a critical situation in Israel's judiciary.
