Palestinian prisoners charged with security-related offences are
immediately taken as a threat to Israel's security. They are seen
as potential, if not actual, suicide bombers. This stereotype
ignores the political nature of the Palestinian prisoners' actions
and their desire for liberty. By highlighting the various images of
Palestinian prisoners in the Israel-Palestine conflict, Abeer Baker
and Anat Matar chart their changing fortunes. Essays written by
prisoners, ex-prisoners, Human rights defenders, lawyers and
academic researchers analyze the political nature of imprisonment
and Israeli attitudes towards Palestinian prisoners. These
contributions deal with the prisoners' status within Palestinian
society, the conditions of their imprisonment and various legal
procedures used by the Israeli military courts in order to
criminalize and de-politicize them. Also addressed are Israel's
breaches of international treaties in its treatment of the
Palestinian prisoners, practices of torture and solitary
confinement, exchange deals and prospects for release. This is a
unique intervention within Middle East studies that will inspire
those working in human rights, international law and the peace
process.
