['Claudia Aranda']
Pressenza
The Red Cross ban on Palestinian prisonersSince October 7, 2023, the Israeli government, pressured by far-right sectors, withdrew authorization for the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to make humanitarian visits to Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails.
The ban is an explicit breach of these treaties, which require Red Cross visits and access to medical and family records.
– Clandestine photos and videos, audiovisual testimonies, and leaks following the release of hostages and Palestinian prisoners.
The global risks of disregarding treaties and defending the ICRCIsrael’s ban on the Red Cross and normalization of isolation is the very denial of international humanitarian law.
International law and the voice of the Red Cross are the line between barbarity and civilization.
