21.\t<\/span><\/span>Mr. EL-KHALED<\/u><\/span> (North-South XXI) said that, three years after its withdrawal from southern Lebanon, Israel continued to hold 16 Lebanese citizens in arbitrary and incommunicado detention. Moreover, there was still no information on the scores of Lebanese who had disappeared during the Israeli occupation, and the corpses of a number of Lebanese still lay in secret cemeteries. Israel had transformed Palestinian villages and towns into concentration camps, where the inmates suffered terrible torture, and its policy of administrative detention was a clear violation of international law. <\/span><\/p><\/div>\n

\n

22.\t<\/span><\/span>The issue of Palestinian and Lebanese prisoners and prisoners from the occupied Syrian Golan was one that had received little attention from the international community. He called for the release of all Lebanese detainees from Israeli prisons and for disclosure of the whereabouts of those missing; for a mission of inquiry to investigate the inhuman conditions of detention; for the release of women and children detainees; for an end to the administrative detention policy; for the prosecution of those responsible for torture; and for the release of all Arab prisoners in the occupied Golan and all other Arabs held in Israeli prisons. <\/span><\/p><\/div>\n

\n

23.\t<\/span><\/span>Lastly, he said that the trial of Mr. Marwan El-Barghouti should be declared improper on the grounds that he was an elected parliamentary representative.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n
