The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil,    but because of the people who don't do anything about it

Palestinian former ministers, Members of the Palestinian Legislative Council (MPLC), university lecturers and students together with civilian women and children have been targeted during the Israeli fierce arrest campaign. Human rights activists and ex-detainees were among the arrests including those who were engaged in hunger strikes in Israeli jails as part of the Israeli systematic collective punishment scenario targeting Palestinian civilians and national leadership alike. Most of the detainees were turned to administrative detention according to which thousands of Palestinian detainees have been held without charge or trial in total violation to international laws and conventions. UFree Network called on the international community to intervene and save the Palestinian civilians kidnapped and locked up behind Israeli bars before it is too late. This is an unspeakable Israeli war crime, already pigeonholed by the Third and Fourth Geneva Conventions as such. UFree Network has initiated a series of solidarity and human rights activities calling on international community and European Union to pressure Israel to stop such arbitrary and random arrests and immediately release administrative hunger strikers, who have been starving for 54 days in a row.
