Treatment Of Palestinian Prisoners (EDM1222)

Treatment Of Palestinian Prisoners

EDM number 1222 in 2012-13, proposed by Jeremy Corbyn on 19/03/2013.
Categorised under the topics of Administration of justice, Children and families, Human rights, Middle East and Prisons.

That this House notes with alarm Israel's ongoing practice of administrative detention wherein many Palestinians are held indefinitely without being charged or being permitted to stand trial; further notes that this practice is in breach of a number of relevant international agreements and conventions including the 4th Geneva Convention and the European law for the prevention of torture or punishment of prisoners; further notes that the policy includes the deporting of Palestinian prisoners from the Occupied Palestinian Territories to Israel and the denial of regular family visits as well as the neglecting of the needs of child detainees; further notes the international community's lack of substantive action against administrative detention which has led to hunger strikes; and calls on the Government to make renewed and increased representations to insist the Israeli government cancel this policy immediately and restore rights to all Palestinian prisoners.

This motion has been signed by a total of 52 MPs.
