27 February 2013 in 2013
In a letter to the UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon, the Palestinian Ambassador to UN has conveyed his grave concerns regarding the critical situation of Palestinian prisoners and detainees held captive in Israeli jails, including those Palestinians enduring long- term hunger strikes in protest of their administrative detention and other violations of their human rights.
He has also informed the Secretary General of the death of a Palestinian prisoner, Arafat Jaradat, age 30, on 23 February, while in the custody of Israel, the occupying power, following his arrest last week and forced interrogations by Israeli authorities at the "Megiddo" jail.
