In this episode, we discuss the changes imposed by Israel on its prisons and how these transformations have affected the rights and conditions of detention of Palestinian prisoners since October 7. We will delve into the implications of the appointment of Itamar Ben Gvir, the far-right ideological Minister of National Security, and address the prevailing doctrine of the Israel Prison Service toward Palestinian political prisoners. We explore whether the aim of detention is merely to suppress or marginalize Palestinian political cadres or to rehabilitate prisoners. Our guest today is Ms. Abeer Bakr, a lawyer and human rights activist, who will share her insights on these pressing issues.
