Political Prisoners
Since Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territory in 1967, an estimated 700,000 Palestinians have been detained under Israeli military orders in the oPt. This constitutes approximately 20 percent of our total population and 40 percent of the male Palestinian population in the oPt.

Missing Persons and the Remains of Fallen Persons
Since the beginning of the conflict, Israel has kept the remains of fallen Palestinians in its custody, refusing to return their remains to families for a dignified burial. Many of these fallen Palestinians are held by Israel in sites known as “cemeteries of numbers.”
