'Red Ribbons' campaign urges Red Cross be allowed access to Palestinians held by Israel
The 'Red Ribbons' campaign is urging the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to resume independent visits to Palestinians held in Israeli prisons, following a Supreme Court ruling that overturned a ban on humanitarian access. Israel's Prison Service has imposed restrictions, including limiting visits to once every three months and capping meetings at five prisoners, effectively undermining the court's decision. The ICRC has expressed readiness to restart visits but has not yet received a date for access.
