<p>November 25, 2021 - <a href="https://qudsnen.co/?p=31855">https://qudsnen.co/?p=31855</a><br></p><p>Ramallah (QNN)- Dozens of Palestinians held a vigil on Thursday in
the center of Ramallah city against Israel’s withholding of Palestinian
martyrs bodies.</p>
<p>Dozens Palestinian protesters earlier today organized a vigil in the
center of the city to express opposition against Israel’s withholding of
bodies of Palestinian martyrs, demanding the occupation authorities to
return their bodies, as since 2015, the occupation authorities have been
withholding the bodies of 81 Palestinians killed by Israeli forces.</p>

<p>254 Palestinian martyrs are buried in Israeli military patrolled
grave sites, 81 are in police morgues and 68 are disappeared, in
violation of the international law.</p>
<p>The Geneva Conventions stresses the necessity of burying the bodies
of deceased detainees or those who were killed with respect according to
procedures that are appropriate with their religious culture.</p>
<p>On 9 September 2019, the Israeli Supreme Court ruled that the
occupation state may continue to hold the bodies of Palestinians as
bargaining chips.</p>
<p>A rule that marked “the first time in history that a court – anywhere
in the world – authorizes state authorities to hold the bodies of
individuals under its control, to which international laws governing
occupation apply, and to use them as bargaining chips. It undermines the
most basic principles of universal humanity, and violates both Israeli
law and international law”, according to Adalah, the Legal Center for
Arab Minority Rights.</p>
<p>“No country in the world allows itself to hold and to use bodies as a
political bargaining chip. These practices violate international
humanitarian law (IHL) and international human rights law, including the
UN Convention against Torture, which absolutely prohibits such cruel,
inhuman and degrading treatment,” Adalah said.</p>
