PA libel: Israel has “exploited the Coronavirus epidemic to place a sword at the throats of the prisoners”

Official PA TV News

Official PA TV reporter: “The prisons have become morgue refrigerators, and the cold is gnawing away at the limbs of the sick, the children, and the elderly among our people who are inside them. Many complaints have arrived from inside the prisons that especially emphasize the lack of winter clothes and blankets, and the non-provision of means of heating. In addition to the prevention of visits by the families and the daily series of oppression of our prisoners by the occupation, the storm is coming to expose the beastliness of the jailors who have exploited the Coronavirus epidemic to place a sword at the throats of the prisoners by preventing visits and preventing any help that provides them with the simplest needs of natural life… In this way the occupation [prison] authority management is deepening the policy of belittling the lives of the prisoners and violating all the laws guaranteeing the right to life according to human standards for the fighters who are spending the best years of their lives [in prison] for the sake of defending our homeland of Palestine.”
