The Palestinian Prisoners' Club strongly denounced on Monday the so-called "Execution of Prisoners Law," recently passed in its first reading by the National Security Committee of the Zionist Knesset.
"This law reflects the ongoing policy of systematic executions by the Zionist authorities against Palestinian detainees," the organization stated.
The proposed legislation would authorize the execution of Palestinian prisoners accused of attacks against Israelis. Human rights groups have already criticized the move as a violation of international law and an escalation of punitive practices within Israeli prisons.
The Club urged international institutions and humanitarian organizations to intervene, emphasizing that such measures threaten prisoners' rights and deepen tensions in the occupied territories.
The Palestinian Prisoners' Club warns that the new law exemplifies a broader pattern of institutionalized violence and demands global condemnation and action.
Author’s summary: The Palestinian Prisoners’ Club criticized Israel’s new execution law as another step in systematic state violence and urged international pressure to halt it.
