As the number of Palestinian prisoners being released from Israeli prisons increases, more accounts of torture are emerging. Last week, eight Palestinians released from Israel’s Ofer Prison reported being tortured and interrogated before being sent back to Gaza. All Israeli prisons and detention centres are overcrowded and have poor humanitarian conditions.
• God of the imprisoned, assure all those suffering and unjustly imprisoned that you see them and care for their freedom. Lord, help us not forgot those who are imprisoned and held hostage. Lord, strengthen the families of Palestinian prisoners and comfort them with your liberating love.
Lord in your mercy… hear our prayer
