Basil Farraj, Assistant Professor at Birzeit University in Palestine, joins the show to discuss how Israel is set to release 602 Palestinian prisoners on Saturday, bringing the total freed to 1,737 as part of the ceasefire deal.
Farraj discusses the brutal conditions of Israeli detention,
where systematic torture, starvation, and abuse have left many prisoners in critical condition, while Israeli captives released appear unscathed by comparison
“Palestinian prisoners endure unimaginable suffering, subjected to multiple forms of torture,” says @basilafarraj “The brutality is incomprehensible.”
