The document condemns a bill preliminarily approved by the Israeli Knesset that would allow the death penalty for Palestinian prisoners, labelling it as a move towards institutionalised racial domination. The Palestinian Return Centre (PRC) argues that this law would provide legal cover for extrajudicial executions and highlights the harsh conditions and abuses faced by Palestinian detainees, including torture, medical neglect, and enforced disappearances. The PRC notes that the bill applies only to Palestinians, calling it discriminatory and likening it to apartheid policies.
The PRC warns that legalising the death penalty in this manner could constitute war crimes and crimes against humanity. And the PRC urges the international community to intervene by halting the bill, investigating detention conditions, prosecuting responsible Israeli officials, ensuring international oversight of prisons, and protecting Palestinian prisoners’ rights. The document concludes by warning that international inaction would amount to complicity in ongoing abuses against Palestinian prisoners.
