A prisoners’ rights group says the Israeli regime has detained more than 135,000 Palestinians since the signing of the Oslo Accords on September 13, 1993.

In a statement on Tuesday, the Prisoners Affairs Commission (PAC) said some 20,000 children and 2,500 women were also among those detained by Israeli forces during this period.

The Israeli regime has persisted in detaining Palestinians from all segments of society, the statement said, adding that a number of ministers and hundreds of academics, journalists and civil society and government personnel international organizations were arrested.

The Israeli authorities have never fulfilled their obligations to release the prisoners in accordance with the Oslo Accords and all subsequent agreements.

According to all the testimonies collected, all the prisoners were subjected to various forms of physical or psychological torture and cruel treatment.

Elsewhere in the statement, the commission said that Israeli authorities had also discussed and passed a wide range of laws and legislation aimed at undermining the legal status and rights of prisoners.

Israeli authorities use torture techniques even after transferring Palestinian detainees for interrogation and then to detention centers. The group also recorded various injuries suffered by the Palestinian detainees, some of whom were shot by the Israeli army.

Palestinian prisoners are held for long periods of time without being charged, tried or sentenced, which is an outright violation of human rights. Advocacy groups describe Israel’s use of so-called administrative detention as a “bankruptcy tactic” and have long called on Israel to end its use.

The Israel Prisons Service (IPS) keeps Palestinian prisoners in deplorable conditions, without proper hygiene standards. Prisoners have also been subjected to systematic torture, harassment and repression throughout the years of Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories.

The statement comes on the 29th anniversary of the signing of the accords in 1993, which marked the first time the Israeli regime and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) recognized each other.

The Gaza-based resistance movement Hamas has called on the Palestinian Authority (PA) to revoke the so-called Oslo Accords and end all forms of cooperation with the Israeli occupation regime, stressing that a “comprehensive resistance” is the only way to realize the rights of the Palestinian people.

The resistance movement said on Tuesday that the disgraceful deals had jeopardized the Palestinian cause, brought new restrictions on Palestinians and had failed to stop Israel’s colonial projects and Judaization programs in the occupied territories.
