Gaza Herald – The Prisoners’ Media Office said that 43 Palestinian detainees from the Gaza Strip have either completed their prison sentences or are scheduled to complete them successively by the end of December 2026.
The office warned that Israeli authorities continue to hold detainees whose sentences have expired, raising concerns that further prisoners may not be released once they complete their terms.
It said the list includes detainees whose sentences ended months ago but who remain in custody without any legal basis or judicial decision justifying the continuation of their detention.
The office stressed that keeping any detainee detained after the completion of their sentence constitutes arbitrary and unlawful detention and represents a violation of international humanitarian law and the Fourth Geneva Convention.
It called for an end to the continued detention of prisoners who have completed their sentences and urged relevant international bodies to ensure respect for detainees’ legal rights.
