Official PA TV newsreader: “Director of [PLO] Commission of Prisoners and Released Prisoners’ Affairs Maj. Gen. Qadri Abu Bakr briefed Belgian Parliament Member Marco Van Huis of the Labor party on all the details of the cause of the prisoners in the Israeli prisons. Maj. Gen. Abu Bakr noted that the occupation army and the Israeli governments that have come one after the other have carried out more than one million arrests against the Palestinian people, and he emphasized the escalation in the level of crime inside the occupation’s prisons and that there are hundreds of sick prisoners who are actually waiting to die as a result of the crimes being committed against them (see note below regarding PA libel on medical abuse of Palestinian prisoners -Ed.). Parliament Member Van Huis noted that the [Belgian] Labor party treats the Palestinian people’s cause as the top priority of its foreign [policy], and that its support for ending the occupation and achieving freedom are starting with efforts to expose the occupation’s crimes, boycott it, and impose sanctions on Israel as an occupation state.”
