PFLP: TORTURE, MUTILATION OF MARTYRS' BODIES ARE WAR CRIMES REQUIRING IMMEDIATE ARREST OF ISRAELI OFFICIALS

The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) condemned the brutal torture and mutilation of Palestinian martyrs’ bodies by Israeli occupation forces, describing such acts as “complete war crimes and crimes against humanity” that demand the immediate arrest and prosecution of Israeli officials involved in those crimes.

In a statement issued on Friday, the PFLP said that the deliberate disfigurement of bodies and the erasure of identities reflect “a Nazi-like, fascist mindset aimed at concealing evidence and evading accountability.”

The group stressed that these acts demonstrate Israel’s moral collapse and its attempt to dehumanize Palestinians even after death.

While Palestinian resistance movements continue to show “the highest levels of ethics and humanity” in handling captives and remains, the PFLP said, the “fascist occupation persists in its savage violations, from torture to mutilation and erasure of identities.”

The statement called for immediate, independent, and international documentation of all cases of mutilation and abuse of bodies, and for the publication of credible findings to expose the crimes to the world. It urged the full return of all bodies and data on the missing to their families “with respect for their dignity and rights.”

The PFLP also highlighted the ongoing suffering of Palestinian prisoners, particularly those from Gaza, who face “systematic torture, deliberate medical neglect, and severe abuse” in Israeli prisons, calling it a “continuing war crime” that requires urgent international intervention to ensure the prisoners’ protection and rights.

The group demanded the establishment of effective international judicial mechanisms that go beyond traditional investigation committees, to issue immediate arrest warrants for Israeli officials implicated in these crimes.

“The evidence is overwhelming, witnessed by the entire world,” the PFLP said, warning that “these crimes will not go unpunished and will not expire with time.” The group pledged to pursue all those responsible “until justice is served.”

PFLP HOLDS ISRAEL FULLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE LIFE OF PRISONER LEADER AHMAD SAADAT

'The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) held the “Zionist occupation, its fascist prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and his security minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, fully responsibility for the life of the PFLP’s secretary-general, Ahmed Saadat, who is facing extremely critical health condition in solitary confinement in Megiddo prison, especially after he was subjected to brutal assault and abuse during his recent transfer.”

The PFLP has also highlighted the continued targeting of its leaders, including Politburo member, Ahed Abu Ghoulmeh, who was recently transferred to Gilboa prison under harsh conditions. Other prominent prisoners from Hamas, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), and the PFLP, such as Hassan Salameh, Abdullah Barghouthi, and Ibrahim Hamed, are also subjected to unprecedented campaigns of abuse and torture.

The group also called on Palestinians, active forces at home and in the diaspora, all free people around the world, and international human rights and humanitarian organizations to act urgently and effectively and participate in the widest possible solidarity campaign with the prisoners, in order to pressure Israel to halt these grave crimes, save the lives of the detainees, and expose these practices to global public opinion.

FOR A BIT OF AIR, KHALIDA JARRAR, PALESTINIAN LAWMAKER LIES DOWN ON THE FLOOR

Tragedy has followed tragedy and she copes heroically with all of them, at least outwardly; she is behind bars for the fifth time in her life and the fourth time since 2015. The fact that, other than in one case, she has never actually been convicted of anything (and even that sole conviction was for a political offense, “membership in an illegal association,” and not for committing acts of terrorism or violence), without Israel ever having presented the slightest bit of evidence against her at a trial — this should shock every person in Israel or abroad who believes in democracy. Five times Haaretz has called for her release in editorials, but in vain.

Jarrar, who opposes the regime, the regime of occupation, is a member of the Palestinian Legislative Assembly, which is not functioning at present, a fact that should accord her parliamentary immunity. She is a prisoner of conscience in Israel. When we talk about prisoners of conscience in Myanmar, in Russia, in Iran or in Syria, we also must not forget Jarrar. When we talk about Israel as a democracy, it’s our obligation to remember Jarrar.

KHALIDA JARRAR'S FIGHT REPRESENTS THE STRUGGLE OF ALL PALESTINIANS

On August 12 Israeli forces transferred Palestinian legislator and activist Khalida Jarrar from Damon prison in Haifa, where she had been held in administrative detention since December 26 2023, to NeveTirza, Israel's only women-only prison, in Ramla. There, she is being held in solitary confinement in a cell that is 2 by 1 ½ meters, with no window and no ventilation.

According to Addameer, the Israeli prison administration has even sealed off the small openings in the bathroom window, the only source of air for Jarrar’s cell, and she needs to crawl to the tiny crack under her cell door for air. She is being suffocated alive. The temperature in her cell is extremely high, due to the lack of ventilation, and she receives very little water as well as insufficient food.

ISRAEL JUST ASSASSINATED THREE NON-HEZBOLLAH POLITICAL FIGURES. WESTERN MORAL COLLAPSE LET IT.

In the first attack on Lebanon’s capital Beirut since the recent increase in Israeli attacks on Lebanon, Israel killed three members of the Popular Front for the Liberation of
Palestine (PFLP). But as political analyst Omar Baddar insisted, the target wasn’t what mattered; it’s what the attack represented. And that is Israel crossing all the red lines it can to provoke a response from Lebanon, and possibly Iran, which could justify “an all-out war” in the region.

ISRAELI ARMY ABDUCTS NINE PALESTINIANS NEAR RAMALLAH

Israeli forces abducted, at dawn Tuesday, at least nine Palestinians, including three women, a journalist, and a child, in the central West Bank governorate of Ramallah and Al-Biereh. Among the abductees is the wife of PFLP political leader, political prisoner, Ahmad Sa’adat.

Media sources said that occupation forces stormed several areas in the governorate, invaded many citizen’s homes, and carried out a wide-scale abduction campaign.

Sources said that soldiers abducted a woman, Abla Saadat, after storming her home in Al-Biereh.

She is the wife of the political prisoner, Ahmad Saadat, the Secretary-General of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP).

It is worth mentioning that, on December 25, 2008, an Israeli military court sentenced Ahmad Saadat to 30 years in prison for what it called “heading an illegal organization”.
