'Over 7,000' Palestinians in Israel jails
RAMALLAH, [Occupied] West Bank (AFP) – More than 7,000 Palestinians, including 270 children, are currently held in Israeli prisons, the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics said on Friday. Three of the prisoners have been in jail for more than 30 years, and 315 for more than 15 years, PCBS said in a statement released to coincide with Prisoners Day, which Palestinians mark on Saturday. Of those currently held, 264 are under administrative detention, which means they are held without trial. Since 1967, when it occupied the Palestinian territories, Israel has detained more than 760,000 Palestinians, the statement said.
