There is not much information about who the people are that are being released by Israel after the ceasefire

Found info from a few of them on todays TG.

Ahmad Khsha, 18, who was arrested in January 2024 in Jenin. “They arrested me because my brother died during a shootout in Jenin. After he died, they arrested me. They raided our cells on Saturday before releasing us and threw teargas at us. They tortured us in the cell, every day. They also tortured and mistreated the women.”

Osama Shadeh, who was waiting to be reunited with his 17-year-old daughter Aseel, said: “It’s hard to describe the emotion we’re feeling at this mome

“My daughter was arrested on 7 November 2024 when she was protesting against the killing of Palestinian children in Gaza. She was waving a Palestinian flag. Israeli soldiers shot her in the foot and handcuffed her. They accused her of trying to stab the soldiers. The fact that she is being released now means that Israel knew that my daughter had done nothing wrong. Yet they kept a minor in jail for over a year.”

from bbc

According to the Reuters news agency, most of the people released today were recently detained and not tried or convicted.

@Scirocco You could see in the boy's faces that terrible things had happened to them. It's a blessing they can be with their families and have a little happiness.

Rula Hassanein was also released a journalist who was arrested and convicted in a military court for incitement due to her resharing posts on x about the conditions for Palestinians.

I watched her video where she was reunited with her baby daughter who you could see in the video did not remember her.

We've hardly been told a thing about the Palestinians released from jail.

Its a disgrace.

“I left hell and now I’m in heaven. We’re all out of hell. They used to violate us, beat us, fire tear gas towards us...There’s no food, no sweets, no salt,”

From a 19 year old, who would have been either 17 or 18 when he was initially detained.

Thank you for the full quote. It was referenced on another thread but of course the first bit was omitted from it.

😥The testimony I'm hearing is harrowing, may they get justice.

Terrible. Mumsnet posters constantly saying they're all terrorists is very upsetting.

So much hatred towards Palestinians on this forum, so much racism, so much Islamaphobia. It's depressing and upsetting.

I haven't seen much about the detainees released yesterday. I saw a couple of young boys released, last night. My god, they were so thin, their faces so drawn, heads shaved. No idea who they were, but it was shocking to see their appearance.

Oh context to above post, they were in prison for bombing and terror offences, but don’t worry, they are on the release list now so you can rest easy!

Sending you love, try and keep your head up. It's a deliberate cruelty, that says more about the people saying it.

💐 It's been like being on a National Front/ Tommy Robinson forum these last few days. Extremely unpleasant, openly supremacist and racist posts galore. Absolutely no shame or self awareness.

The one thing that the last 15 months has exposed is exactly the types of people and gaslighting that the Palestinians have had to deal with for the last 80 years.

There are several other journalists / social media commentators among the group. Reuters says that most were not tried or convicted of any crimes.
