3:34 am
that's the to your guys. i'm sometimes they start from the cells and they beat the prisoners model. what are the hardest practice against you in the prison going to be sure not a lot all use of they used to take cost for interrogation and they would tend to cost us behind all our back and they would do would beat us up and they don't differentiate between a young boy on an elderly man. everybody is struggling with the difficult circumstances. they took my feet and my shoes, and the one they gave me another one, but it was very small and i lost it on the way. i told him it's not my size and he tells me you manage even this jacket. they didn't give it to me, it's the red cross who gave me a jacket when i got to the bus. can we ask you about how you feel? now? honestly since the war we didn't have any updates from him,
3:35 am
we were able to communicate with him before the war and i was supposed to visit him, but then i was not on. i didn't hear anything from him. i was hearing from people who are coming out of the prison even i was a prisoner. so he's been, i was afraid in november. the situation inside the prison is a tragic called even describe it. it's more suitable for the human being. there is no electricity. there is no sun for 15 days inside the prison, i was in the same clothes. i wasn't allowed to change my clothes. that is most and of the, nor my life. there is no blankets nor pillows, no books, no nothing. the situation inside is
3:36 am
a tragic. maybe we are the, the, the office i was told us, you are what was prisoners and we are dealing with you as or prisoners us today i was sort of prior is totally in late in the afternoon unless somebody called me from 0 is really officer and he told me, gives me your full name on my id number. and he told me today there has been a d and a new order son would be released. gives me the registration number of your car and go meet him by yourself. no one else is allowed to come with you. you are not allowed to speak to the media and you are not allowed to celebrate. so i told him find, find out who. so we were suppose to stay only 3 hours on the way, but it took 8 hours because of the chick boring. very difficult to check for him.
3:37 am
and of course all what a feeling is happiness mixed with grief and sadness for the people of gas. so hopefully there will be a season, a fire last spring season fire because the war is very difficult and we hope it will stop and may god help our brothers and sisters in guys. thank you. as you heard their difficult conditions with heating difficult testimonies from prisoners. again, we're talking about 17 and 18 years old. let's try and find the palestinian mothers who we've been speaking to throughout the night. let's see if that a here and if they've met their sons and a or not let me see
3:38 am
need a while you are seeing who can speak to. so i go ahead go ahead. yeah, a lot. yeah. i mean, i'm the seeing somebody at a, a low, we've been speaking to her when we 1st broke the news that the buses have gotten out of uh, outside of prison, her son abdullah. and just to remind you, before we speak to her, she has the had her husband and her 4 sons in is really deals. they are low as the youngest, but the rest have been also arrested. she says, she's a mother, she's been all alone in the past. month and a half have been the most difficult her. let's have a listen to what she is say. there's a lot about who do you know anything about your father?
3:39 am
yes, he is in prison and about his name, but how did they deal with you today? how did you know? i was a sleep and suddenly they took me as i was both thing god. yeah. who's usually? how did they they had us and they appealed to us today. how many sons do you have in the prison? my husband is a prisoner on my 4 sons are prisoners. i'm very glad the abdulla was released today. what do you know about the others? since the beginning of the war? i don't know anything about them. but for although i've read his name that he was on the list for the dean, i can't remember how worried are you hearing about all this beating up
3:40 am
and torture? of course, of course they are brutal in the way they deal with the prisoners. may god be by the bedside and help them in the copy of the law which or how was your main thing was i've done last it seems must have been such i'm michelle, that he called me. i couldn't even recognize him. he is not the same person home, and today i rested in the box and you see his light fixture before you would say that's a different person. have reason in him is different. it shows the way they were 3 things with him. my son was calling me and i couldn't took nice how much of the circumstances are very bad inside them. i can't even describe the via loans the blood everywhere in the prisons on the sun. god,
3:41 am
we are determined, understood fast. the food is a very bad inside the prison, the food is bad in the crowd. what do you know about your dad? when i heard from other prisoners about that, but i didn't think that my mom would be less, you know, by herself all alone at home and it's all over. and hopefully, within a few days i'm calling all my family will be, are united, and all the prisoners wouldn't be free for that. i mean, mother now you are with her and she wouldn't be lonely anymore. we are very grateful and sign god, but this thing called we are happy and we believe when our religion gives us the ability to keep going. i know we ask for mercy, a buddy from god and the how is your way home?
3:42 am
no, it's a very difficult way to get back home from grandma. we need for hours maybe more. so me thank you. uh she's smiling. we've been seeing her very anxious, very worried. actually we tried to talk to her it before uh, one of the lives and she was in a difficult condition and she was feeling bad. so we postponed it until she gathered some courage. and now you see her as she says that she could not recognize her son of the law. and he says that he believes that since he has been freed in a, in a prison or exchange deal that has the 4 other brothers as well as his father are going to be nice. but now we can tell you that. so meter is not going to be all alone and like she was in the past month in the hot right. need a, these are incredibly, incredibly powerful testimonies that will seem to say pretty much the same thing. all of them are shining a spotlight into life behind bars and is rarely facilities. they all talk about
3:43 am
poor treatment, lack of food, injuries, not being treated, but also the common thread is best. the conditions appear to have go much, much worse since october, the 7th. the day if those um, how much attacks and stuff in israel, where according to the, it's ready to go for it to use up to 1200 people were killed a significant point for them. then the conditions in jail got much, much worse. yes indeed. and we've already been reporting and, but let's remind our what viewers that these conditions that's when available to the city and prisoners before october. the 7th, with a result of a lot of protesting a lot of collective hunger strikes by palestinian prisoners throughout the years to kind of ensure that they have a little bit of better conditions in prison. so for palestinian prisoners,
3:44 am
for example, the fact that they have access to a television, certain news channels that they can watch news and has been considered and achievements and has been a result like several and several years. the all action improved this thing and how the strikes, the gun is really jail. so all of that has been scratched off the main one, the remains that there is no visitation whatsoever. and let me tell you something that you know, we have open prison and it's the only prison that is in the a few pod westbank itself. the rest are inside is right, which is a gun. the international law. why? because an occupying power should be, if it's in prison in progress, the people it should be in the territory that those occupied people can go and visit their sons. but now if they want to go to printers inside israel, they need this right. the permits in israel contains that process. another thing that these really that palestinian prisoners have been talking about is it'd be
3:45 am
a lot of medical attention. this is a big deal. you know, we have talking about palestinians who have been mistreated during the test itself, have been intimidated after within certification and now they did not have any chance. also you have people who are been injured from 3 of us, the address or previous confrontation with these really forces and then they need to follow up on their treatment. that hasn't been a lot to them. so you're talking about basic needs, like walter, everyone has been interviewing lately, has been describing the water they drink as flooring. you know, there has been a small place in the prison would process it is can buy that bottled water from that has been also taken away from prisoners as well as food. everyone we've been talking to says the food is insufficient. that wasn't enough. and that's why we've been getting parents say, you know what, our sons have lost weight. so we're talking about 18 kind of senior prisoners who have been released here it to include on my ma. uh,
3:46 am
it seems to be that the everyone tried to take their sons and take them home and make it back was they can give them the difficult conditions, but at least it's, it's, it's a good news for those families who can help with their sons home and it's giving them more more hope that thing and it at least look at more exchange deals. rodney that we've been talking about collective punishment for people in jobs or of course, is the conflict that has been going on, but is the sense in the occupied westbank. but they too, are experiencing collective punishment. one of the things that we've been also seeing a measure that has been on the rise, is that these rated forces would detain someone in order for it to have someone else hand themselves over the bath is not collective punishment. what it is we've been also seeing how palestinians in different places have to endure difficult to
3:47 am
raise the killing. you know, just to yesterday we were reporting on the killing golden age. utilized the level as a product city and said that he was doing with his friends as these really forces rated janine and rated also that you need refuge account. also another paula sent me an f 15 year old. both of them were shopped in front of the cameras. palestinians would tell you that this is all on purpose. that'd be as weight is, are doing more and, and brought things down more. more against paula city is to instill fear to instill control due to i as far as i know, the seller to at present a pressure or like a another from the front if you may from the occupied to us bank. but you have others will tell you that if israel wants to prevent a break or an outbreak of violence here the occupied to us back more than it's been seeing already, then it is doing the exact opposite. what it should do. it is cracking down on
3:48 am
palestinians, punishing people making their lives more difficult by the minutes, by the hour, by the day. a need to i think people will be watching this. i'm wondering at the same time there, of course these moving scenes off we union of the young people, older people, teenagers, women being released from jail, some of them jailed for simply minor offenses. but at the same time in the crowd, but also seeing how boss flags as well. i just wonder, to what extent the ongoing conflict has led to research and some support from us and, and they'll provide westbank where officially a mass doesn't have a political presence at least a well, let's put it this way. every time we see a mouse waging a war or in involving, let's use it better term being involved in a war against israel. we see it's popular, the surging among palestinians because they've been seeing the weakness of the
3:49 am
palestinian authority. they would tell you that the palestinian officials here have been negotiating, negotiating the negotiating, and instead of bringing to the states, they are saying more and the good is really supplements. they're seeing more non confiscation, they're seeing more cleanings and more rates add more. uh, dr. labs grabs that are run during the possibilities of a palestinian state. it's almost impossible. so we're talking about the seed that tell us to me and say, you know what is read on the understands the language, of course. and it's been that the fact that's how much was held captive at enabled it to release some of the palestinian prisoners. of course, those young people, everyone is important to their families. everyone is spending a day extra in june is one day too many. but still these uh, deals uh that haven't been possible if it wasn't for to come out and, and the issue of the captives are really being seen here as a whole. and i and the
3:50 am
a chance really to release those with colliers sentences, those who would not be able to see a lives behind. but i mean outside the bars if it wasn't for a nice deal and a deal like this one. so everyone is looking at the future. everyone is looking at potential more and more deals that we'll see more present as outside of jails. yeah . need a, all of these testimonies are incredibly powerful as a side gives us a real insight into life behind boss. for many of the state detainees, people who have spent, what sounds like incredibly difficult time. and it's randy facilities need to. we'll come back to you when we can, if you feel you are able to find anybody else to speak to, then do so and we'll come back to you. but i want to take off view as now it's us having to sell who's in the occupied east recently. and he's been listening in to all of this because of course have the, the raw palestinians with this right in the citizenship were being released to a heading in your direction. us
3:51 am
that's right. i'm on this exchange of prisoners. we are seeing how citizens also being released into occupied east jerusalem. however, the celebrations have been completely suppressed to the government has banned all celebrations for palestinians being released from prison in occupied east jerusalem . and anywhere else that is under is really jurisdiction. this comes after a strict move by the countries national security minister and the known ultra nationalist, each of our vend we're. he and his forces have essentially been cracking down on every single home of every single palestinian prisoner who has been released over the last 7 days. this includes even kicking extended family out of the home, and there are also a lot of restrictions as to what these now newly released prisoners can and cannot
3:52 am
do. a lot of them are still living in fear because of the threats they've received from these really security apparatus. they've been told they are not allowed to part taken any political activities like protests. they're not allowed to post anything on social media. so a lot of them are still living in fear while they want to celebrate their freedom. they do know that it comes at a cost as we've been hearing for palestinians in the occupied westbank that none of this was essentially free. it comes as more than $15000.00 people post indians were killed in the gaza strip due to continued is really aggression. but the is really restrictions on the palestinians are just one of the many the people who live under this brutal occupation face every single day. yeah, and uh, i mean, it is a of course, i think the challenging situation for family members for individuals,
3:53 am
they spend an awful lot of time behind this. ready, falls in detention facilities to now face the post bytes of just simply not being able to celebrate the release. let's talk about now the release off the x ray, the concepts because today of course on now on is riley soil. i mean, how is this moment this severance exchange this extension of the cease fire? how is that being seen and what prospect does not raise for further extensions? a look, as we've been reporting the issue of the captive is the most important and the most sensitive among these really is and among is really society. and also among politicians and security officials, a like after a 7 successful exchange of the captives, all of them we can report are now in hospitals in the tell of area being reunited with their families. it has been received extraordinarily well and even families
3:54 am
who know that their loved ones don't fall under the criteria of women and children to be released under this current framework. they say they're still extremely thankful for all of the captives who are able to be released and that they are going to continue to rally against and then risk the pressure on the government until all of the captives are released to these rallies. have been saying that they're looking to release all civilian women and children under this current framework of the deal. but when it comes to an extension into the 8th day, there are still a lot of unknowns. you know, the ceasefire is set to expire in just a few hours time. and these really is haven't confirmed that there will be an extension to it. they are reporting that they haven't received a list of names from us and mediators about those who are expected to be released on friday, which would extend the ceasefire into its 8th day. and the 4th day of its extension . we saw this as well overnight on wednesday me is really is it rejected
3:55 am
a list that was given to them by mediators saying that to be placed included on the names of 7 captives who were alive and 3 who were already deceased. and these relays were firm that in order for the cease fire agreement to continue on to be extended, they were looking for 10 is really captives who are alive to be brought back right into is really territory. yeah. how does you say these next few hours are going to be extremely critic, a lot of a 100, a solid, unoccupied easter eastern. thank you. this like a view is now bank to need to abraham, losing the mileage being following developments the amount of course in the all to find westbank, anita, i understand that the crowds have started to dissipate the seems or celebration of starting to, to calm down. i wonder if you can summarize for us what the common thread you've noticed over the past few days is when it comes to the experiences of the people who are being released. and we've been sharing with you similar stories
3:56 am
of mistreatment, the main one being deprived from basic necessities, basic needs. food votes are as well as the ability to take showers. we've been also seeing it prisoner as being released the with the know shoes, some of them others were saying that they would cut off to, to the, from the outside world somewhere saying that they would waiting for new prisoners to come in to be able to know what's happening in the outside world? after october, the 7th, everything has been restricted. it has really prisons when it comes to electricity when it comes to water when it comes to food. but also we've been hearing difficult stories of mistreatment and it beats, and we have also is heard those testimonies today as well. how this thing is saying that in those prisons, every day, these really forces which come in the prison service would come in and beat them up,
3:57 am
but they would intimidate them. they would try to make their lives more and more complicated, but it still is a joyous moment when they were able to see their loved ones. some of those who have been released have been seeing also that fathers will have been also in prisons. others are still waiting. everyone is hopeful that since this deal has been struck, maybe more and more are coming and more prisoners are going to be freed. need a many folks that need to have him reporting live from vermont a in the occupied westbank class. he's been hearing this is the 7th exchange that has taken place 10 and strategies. they include you nationals, 8 of them. part of the main part of that deal. 2 of them added on to that russian citizens as part of the exchange, could be released from the gaza strip in return for the palestinians, which here as you see that have just been arriving in the occupied westbank city of ramallah. the hope of course is now the come includes short hours. we will start to
3:58 am
see some movements in terms of a further extension and further release as you're watching. ouch. is there a more news coming up in a few moments to the the latest news as it breaks this attack is being described by ukrainian president, a lot demands that lensky is an act of terrorism with detailed coverage. have you had anybody has promised to reform the origin, ties, state, and improvements of therapy measures. people who are fear of this well impoverished, the population from around the world gets males. this wants to be 5 minutes of old people for the off to 25 years of competing against migrants and assign them seek of some save this new toll stuff and sounds convincing. one of the largest green spaces in atlanta, georgia is being cleared to build a $19000000.00 lease training facilities i for or the board is the same that they
3:59 am
were to join also, or to use across accusing doesn't surprising. the construction of domestic stream. it is the people that are talking about investing and social services that are considered extreme phone lines of what this means for the future of protest in america. now your terrorist on out you 0 injustice for me, k is the driving force of why i do this to show people what it's like to live in some of the most dangerous part for the world to live in places where injustice isn't something you read in the news is something that happens to every single day . everyone, hey, is watching the news on the mobile phones. unlike your eyes, they don't watching, folding units. they watching that how it was being destroyed in real time. when you're on the ground, when you're showing people what's going on, whether it's a war, natural disaster, whether it's political corruption, making sure they understand less simple language is absolutely crucial. since he's
4:00 am
already 50 percent evacuated, most of those people actually left in the early days of the war. i couldn't do this job without the best cameraman best produces the best pictures. and those of the people the ira longer in order to be able to get that message out to the well the so as he palestinians are free from is ready the prisons for this to no deal between a mass in israel to expand the seatbar to runs out of the few hours time, i'm us hands over 6 small captives from god. so bringing the total number released on thursday to 8. the many bulk of this is just a license. so also coming up i made clear that before is real res.
