The purpose of the Meeting was to raise awareness of the plight of Palestinian political prisoners and to strengthen the support of the international community for a solution to this issue, namely their speedy release and reintegration into Palestinian society. The Meeting, among other things, looked into the current situation and conditions of imprisonment of Palestinians in Israeli prisons and detention facilities, including the situation of women and minors. It discussed legal aspects of the arrests and detentions of Palestinians by the occupying Power. The Meeting also considered the issue of Palestinian political prisoners in the context of the Israeli-Palestinian political process and discussed ways of strengthening the role of the wider international community, including non-governmental actors, in promoting a solution.<\/p>\n<\/div>
