Release of Palestinian Prisoners Served their Sentences is Israeli Media Ploy

The Palestinian Prisoner’s Club (PPC) Thursday described the Israeli prisons’ administration’s decision to release 200 prisoners who have already served their sentences, as an Israeli media ploy and need. PPC said in a statement that “this step aims to cover the lowness that the prisons’ administration has reached by imposing a number of strict measures against the prisoners in order to carry out Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s decision; imposing sanctions against the prisoners, as well as to meet Knesset members’ demands; killing the prisoners. Head of PPC in Ramallah, Qaddura Fares, said that the Israeli government is trying to deceive the world by releasing prisoners who have already served their sentences, at the time the prisons’ administration has started imposing a series of collective punishment against the prisoners, since the beginning of Ramadan. He called on the International community and media institutions not to be fooled by this release of prisoners, and to focus on the repression and abuse that the prisoners suffer from on daily bases which Israel commits under the international community's silence.
