Sixth conference of the European Alliance to support the prionsers' families stated that the number of Palestinian prisoners inside the Israeli jails is almost 430 (women and men).

The conference was held on December 13, 2020 under the slogan of "All solidarity with patients in prisons, and freedom for the Palestinian prisoners."

 45 Arab countires, European countires, Russia, and United States attended the conference via electronic communication.

The conference revealed the numbers of prisoners in the Israeli jails in which there are 700 sick detainees, 570 prisoners sentenced to life, 170 children, 41women prisoners, and 370 adminstrative prisoners.

It also touched upon the slow kill policy the sick detainees suffer from in which 226 martyrs died because of it.

In addition, while various countries in the world released their prisoners due to the outbreak of the corona virus, Israel keeps its policy of racism and disregarding against the Palestinians inside the prisons as they exploited the spread of the virus and arrested 3300 Palestinians so far, and the number is in its way to increase. 

The conference also emphasized that it is the time to draw the red lines for the Israeli authorities regading the treatment of the prsioners, the application of international conventions which guarantee their living, health and economic rights, and imposing international sanctions over the Israeli entity.
