<p>We remain concerned by the impact that COVID-19 could have on prisoners and detainees.
The British Embassy in Tel Aviv have a regular dialogue with Israel on legal issues
relating to the occupation, including the treatment of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli
prisons. This includes the increased risk due to lack of hygiene, proper ventilation,
population density and issues of due process. We continue to call for steps to be
taken that will reduce the risk of COVID-19 spreading in prisons whilst simultaneously
respecting fundamental human rights.</p>
