RAMALLAH, March 31, 2026 (WAFA) – Addameer for Prisoner Support and Human Rights Association, the Commission of Detainees Affairs, and the Palestinian Prisoners Club on Tuesday sent an urgent letter to European Union countries regarding Israel’s recently passed death penalty law targeting Palestinian prisoners.
The letter highlighted that the law is explicitly discriminatory, applies only to Palestinians, and is enforced through military courts that lack basic fair trial guarantees.
It called on the EU to take immediate, concrete measures, including suspending the EU–Israel Association Agreement, imposing targeted sanctions, and halting diplomatic and economic cooperation, to uphold international law and protect fundamental human rights.
The organizations stressed that expressions of concern alone are no longer sufficient; urgent and decisive action is urgently needed to prevent further violence against Palestinians.
