The Palestinian Authority marked the 36th annual Palestinian Prisoner's Day on Saturday in Ramallah, holding a parade attended by thousands calling for the release of all prisoners held by Israel.
During the event, the PA blamed Israel for the death of Raed Abu-Hamad at the Eshel prison facility in the south. Abu-Hamad, 31, was found dead yesterday and the police are investigating the reasons leading to his death.
