Misdemeanor or Felony, What’s Your Color?
Prisoners in Israeli jails to wear Guantanamo Bay style jumpsuits16 August 2007
Gaza – Ma'an – Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli jails will be forced to wear Guantanamo Bay style jumpsuits, according to the director of a centre for prisoners' rights.
The Director of the Al Asra Centre, Ra'fat Hamdouneh has appealed to the international community, the Red Cross and human rights organizations to open an immediate investigation into practices carried out in the Israeli jails where Palestinian prisoners are held, saying that many of the practices violate the Geneva Convention.
He said that prisoners are stripped of their clothes and are forced to wear blue nylon jumpsuits, like the orange jumpsuits worn by prisoners in Guantanamo Bay.
The Israeli newspaper Ha'aretz on Wednesday also reported this new procedure, adding that the detainees in the West Bank will be forced to wear white overalls, whereas those from the Gaza Strip will wear blue.
