specialized in ensuring rights and basic services to the Palestinian people, include the following: 1- The Commission of Detainees Affairs: The Israeli occupation carried out a number of arbitrary measures and many obstacles that obstructed the performance of the Commission, including: - Obstructing the work and performance of the Commission’s lawyers assigned to defend and advocate for the Palestinian prisoners in Israeli detention. These obstacles took the form of preventing detainees from contacting the lawyer upon arrest, preventing the attorney from attending interrogation sessions and limiting lawyers’ visits to detainees, in addition to failing to respond to complaints raised about violations and rejecting petitions for improving the detainees' conditions and their living conditions. - The Commission of Detainees Affairs suffered the consequences of Israel’s policy of medical negligence and failure to provide the necessary medical treatment to sick prisoners, by having to send specialized doctors to examine the health status of prisoners and provide medical advice to them. This constituted a financial burden on the families of the prisoners and prisoner-specialized institutions. The Commission also carried the burden of the maintenance of the prisoners after their release due to their physical and psychological inability to work with dignity. - Added to the above, bearing the high financial cost as a result of the occupation’s policy against the prisoners, which includes:14 - Providing legal representation for prisoners before the courts by contracting a sufficient number of lawyers to defend them. Paying the cantina allowance annually. Paying an aid allowance to the families of prisoners in prisons to contribute to providing them with a decent life, following the arrest of the breadwinner. Reintegration of released prisoners into society after years of detention, within the framework of the released prisoners’ rehabilitation program, such as by providing vocational training. Added to the above, bearing the cost of university education for released prisoners and the same for prisoners in prisons.
