What the petition asks
We call on the British Government to pressure the Israeli authorities to release all Palestinian children, elders and women prisoners from its jails because they are most vulnerable to being infected by the Corona Virus COVID -19
While the Israeli authorities have recently released other prisoners as a precautionary measure against the spread of the Corona virus, the Palestinian prisoners remain incarcerated. This puts them at a greater risk of contracting the virus given the conditions under which they are held and the highly contagious nature of this virus.
