The Names of Palestinian and International POWs to be freed on Tuesday

Gaza (SaebPress) …On Sunday morning; ‘Israel’ Prison Service began transporting the Palestinian prisoners of war set to be released in accordance with the swap deal.

477 Palestinian POWs were transferred from 16 different high-security confinement facilities to ‘Ketziot’ prison, south occupied Palestine near the border with Egypt.

Meanwhile Palestinian female prisoners of war set to be freed were transferred from ‘Damon’ prison in the north of occupied Palestine to ‘Sharon’ prison. The windows of the buses were covered so that the POWs could not show signs of victory. Among the females was the Ukrainian POW Irina Polishchu, who fought alongside her Palestinian female comrades agains tthe ‘Israeli’ occupation of Palestine.

Many Palestinians are disappointed with the terms of the prisoner swap, which entails some detainees being exiled abroad or away from their homes. Under international law it is illegal for ‘Israel’, as an occupying power, to transfer Palestinians PO’s outside their occupied homeland of Palestine.

The list released by ‘Israel’ occupation Prison Service on Sunday night comprised the names of the Palestinian POWs set to be released. The list includes many POWs involved in planning and carrying out attacks against ‘Israeli’ occupation, it includes around 280 Palestinian POW’s serving life-sentences.

The list of 450 Palestinian men and 27 women POWs was published on the website of the ‘Israel’ occupation Prison Service. Another 550 Palestinian prisoners of war are to be released within two months.

There are over 6,000 Palestinian prisoners of war in ‘Israeli’ jails. They are regarded as heroes in their struggle against ‘Israeli’ occupation of Palestine. The prisoners of war swap comes while thousands of Palestinian POWs have been on a hunger strike for over three weeks.
