Israel’s Prisons Exposed

29. July 2026

In this video, human rights lawyer and journalist Dimitri Lascaris speaks with Palestinian artist and scholar Rehab Nazzal about a story from inside Israel’s prison system that has received little international attention. At its centre is Ghassan Zawahreh of Dheisheh refugee camp, whose family has endured decades of imprisonment, raids and loss.

What happened to Ghassan after his latest arrest—and why does Rehab Nazzal view his case not as an exception, but as part of a much larger system? The conversation also examines administrative detention, the suffering imposed on prisoners’ families, and why the fate of Palestinian detainees remains largely invisible in politics and the media.

This video was produced by Reason2Resist and published on their YouTube channel on the 15th of July 2026.
