Groups: 335 Palestinians Unlawfully Jailed
------------------------------------------



Meanwhile in Israel, two human rights group have released a report
documenting what they call the unlawful imprisonment of some 335
Palestinians in Israeli jails. The groups B’Tselem and Ha Moked say
Israel is violating international law by holding the prisoners without
charge or trial for years on end. The 335 figure could be substantially
conservative; there are an estimated 10,000 Palestinians in Israeli
jails.
