Throughout the decades of Israeli military occupation, Palestinians from all walks of life have been illegally detained by Israel.

This forms approximately 20% of the total Palestinian population in the Occupied Territories.

Today Tubas prisoner's society held a rally outside the Red Cross building in Tubas to commemorate prisoner's week.
