Figures published this month (April 2019) show the Israeli occupation abducted 1600 Palestinians in the previous three months, including 230 children, and 40 women. Today there are around 5,700 Palestinians caged in 17 Israeli prisons. This includes 205 children – 5 of which are languishing in solitary confinement, and 48 women, , and 7 MPs. 497 Palestinians are held without charge or trial, indefinitely, under administrative detention orders. Last year, in 2018, 3,255 Palestinian children were abducted and caged by Israel, that's one Palestinian child taken from their family every 3 hours! Inminds chair Abbas Ali said "The Israeli occupation is enforced by terrorising the indigenous Palestinian population; abducting its children - one every 3 hours; and imprisoning anyone who resists. In many cases the formality of a charge let alone a trial or even a set length of sentence are ignored - people are just locked up indefinitely on the whim of the occupation . During interrogation physical torture, even of young children, is standard practice as is sexual abuse of children. Women have been electrocuted into submission, and many prisoners like Arafat Jaradat have died under torture (72 prisoners in total tortured to death since 1967). If they survive the interrogation then they face the military court and its 'conveyor belt' trial system with its 'rubber stamp' 99.74% conviction rate. In no other country in the world is such injustice legalised into law." Inminds chair Abbas Ali added "Some 20% of the Palestinian population of men, women, children and the elderly have been imprisoned by the Israeli military since 1967, every single Palestinian family has been effected. The prisoners form the cornerstone of Palestinian society, their suffering is felt in every home. We are here to show our solidarity with them and their families, and to demand their freedom from occupation dungeons. We are also here to demand that companies complicit in their suffering, like HP that provides the IT infrastructure for Israel's torture dens and dungeons, end their complicity in these war crimes." On 9th April over 400 prisoners went on hunger strike to demand basic rights. The strike ended in victory on 15th April with an agreement for all prisons to install public telephones in the prison sections, which prisoners would be allowed to use three times a week for 15-minute calls to their families. Inminds chair Abbas Ali said "Its a damming inditement of the Israeli occupation that 400 prisoners had to go on hunger strike in order to be grated their very basic right to talk to their families on a telephone for 15 minutes." The protest was very well received by Londoners . For most Londoners the protest was an eye opener, fed on a diet of BBC whitewashing of apartheid crimes, they were oblivious to the reality of Palestinian prisoners, in particular to the existence of child prisoners, let alone to their torture and caging without charge by Israel.

 [all videos (over 200)..] Featured MP3 Podcast  "Scalp bounties were the payment of a fee for proof of death of an Indian, any Indian, on a graduated scale. At the top of the scale they would pay the highest amount for proof of death by way of the production of a scalp, or bloody red skin - origin of the term 'red skins' - of an adult male Indian. Half that fee would be payed for proof of death by the same means of a adult female, quarter to be payed for proof of death of a child, child being defined as as a human being under 10 years of age down to and including a fetus.. every single colony on the east coast, every state of the Union and territory of the United States within the confines of the 48 contiguous states, had in place, in some period of its history, a scalp bounty - removed usually when there were no longer sufficient number of Indians left to kill to warrant its continuation..that's as absolutely clinical a genocidal policy as is possible to envision, they weren't interested in any particular Indians, any Indians would do and they would pay for proof of death - they wanted all of us dead."
