️JUST IN: Statement from Ahmed Al-Qudra, Director of the Prisoners’ Media Office:
The waves of freed prisoners continue to break the chains of captivity, restoring freedom to those robbed of it by the occupation, proving that only resistance can impose our people's will and reclaim their rights from the occupier’s grip.
We salute the steadfast resistance that achieved this great victory and imposed its terms on the occupation, demonstrating that our prisoners are not alone and that their freedom is not an unattainable dream but a promise upheld by the resistance fighters' weapons and words.
We commend the sacrifices of the people of Gaza, who have faced aggression with steadfastness, serving as a fortress against invaders, offering immense sacrifices, blending patience with blood, and merging their generosity with steadfastness, making them partners in victory and liberation.
Despite their imprisonment, our prisoners have proven to be unbreakable, emerging from the darkness of detention stronger, more determined, and carrying the torch of freedom despite years of isolation and suffering.
The occupation has not ceased its crimes against prisoners, even in their moments of release, deliberately humiliating, assaulting, and degrading them in a desperate attempt to dampen their joy of freedom. However, the will of the freed prisoners has prevailed.
The severe condition in which the prisoners are released exposes the scale of crimes and violations inside prisons, as the marks of torture and oppression are evident on their bodies. This demands a firm stance to hold the occupation accountable for its crimes.
We call on the international community to reject its double standards regarding the prisoners' cause. Just as the occupation demands the return of its captives, our prisoners have the right to freedom and dignity, and denying this right is complicity with the oppressor.
We emphasize the necessity of an honorable reception for the freed prisoners, recognizing their sacrifices, as they are symbols of steadfastness, pillars of honor, and models of sacrifice for the freedom of land and people.
