Thousands of Palestinians imprisoned in Israel without charge or trial

MORE than 3,480 Palestinians are being detained in Israeli prisons without charge or trial, a prison activist group said today.

The Palestinian Prisoners Club (PPC) said those in prison include 40 children and 11 women as well as lawmakers, journalists and activists.

This comes as the Israelis snubbed a plan for a ceasefire in their war against the Palestinians in Gaza following the surprise attack by Hamas on October 7 during which 1,200 people were killed and 240 others were taken hostage.
