Donia Al-Watan website published on 05/04/2015 CE news that stated, "The Palestinian Prisoners Centre for Studies confirmed that the current year has witnessed a clear escalation regarding the detention of Palestinian females, who defend their land and its holy sites. The center monitored 78 arrests of women and minors during the first quarter. Most of them were arrested inside the Sanctuary Yards of Al-Aqsa Mosque and were released later; among them were the two girls, Hur Abdeen, aged 14 years, and Shaima Shuraitah, aged 16 years".

Since the year 2000 until today, more than 85 thousand cases of arrests were recorded, including more than 10,000 under the age of eighteen, and about 1,200 women. 6,500 Palestinian prisoners, including 24 women and 230 children are still detained by the occupation authorities.

As indicated in the Prisoners Center report, 78 women were detained since the beginning of this year, a number of them inside the Al-Aqsa Mosque while defending it against the invasions of the settlers. Most of them were released, but the Israeli occupation issued expulsion orders against them, as well as being ordered to pay massive fines. Riyad al-Ashqar, a researcher for Prisoners Affairs, indicated that the suffering of the prisoners in the prisons of the Jewish entity have increased over the past few months, especially the increase in night "raids", and called upon the international organizations and the official bodies of NGOs to intervene immediately to put an end to the suffering of Palestinian women in Israeli jails. He also called on the media to highlight the issue of female prisoners.

It seems that the issue of prisoners in general, and the female prisoners, in particular, no longer enjoys even the slightest interest of the international community, and not even the local community - who are incapacitated to begin with- since their sufferings, shouting out for help and their strikes no longer draw the attention of anyone, even at the condemnation and denunciation level which has not helped their plight in any way whatsoever. Those female prisoners who spend months or years away from their families, their homes and their children are unaware that their case of the rest of the prisoners are only a paper played out by the politicians, whenever and however they please, and that their sacrifices and suffering go unheeded for the plots, concessions and trading of the so-called "Palestinian cause". And that this is not the way for liberation and salvation from the occupation as Palestine and the Al-Aqsa Mosque will only be liberated by a Muslim leader at the head of an army that uproots the Jewish entity from its roots and returns them back to the bosom of the Muslims!

The so called "Palestinian Prisoners Day" comes this year and the world is busy with Operation Decisive Storm, carried out by Saudi Arabia with its alliance against Yemen, where the rulers moved and mobilized their fighter planes that are stationed in their barracks. However, they did not send them to Palestine to liberate it and remove the grip of the Jews, or to save the honorable women of Palestine from captivity and imprisonment, or to protect them and defend them, but they sent them as tools in the struggle for influence in Yemen between Britain and America. Had they been honest they would have mobilized their planes and rockets toward the Jewish entity that occupies the blessed land over 50 years, and that killed and displaced its people, detained its sons and daughters, violated honors and desecrated holy sites, but they remained idle!.

So, O our Muslim people in the first Qibla for the Muslims - the blessed land:

Year after year, and anniversary after another passes and the first Qibla is suffering under the yoke of occupation; the honorable women are under the oppression of the Jews scream; and the numbers of male and female prisoners are increasing rather than decreasing. The conspiracies are weaved, the land is sold, corruption is spreading, and injustice prevails, so what are you waiting for! And what do you hope for! Do you still not see the path of light and clear truth! Do not make your sacrifices, the suffering of your captives and the lives of your martyrs in vain, cheap, rather without price! And O the honorable women of Palestine and the granddaughters of al-Khansa, may Allah redeem your captivity and relieve your grief.  You should surely know, O our sisters, that nothing would return your freedom and security except the Khilafah "Caliphate" State on the method of the Prophethood, which will mobilize the armies to liberate the land and the people ... because this is the path of liberation and there is no other way.

And O our people in the current Qibla of the Muslims and everywhere else, do you not see that it was imperative for the Muslims' aircrafts to head to the real enemy rather than being directed to the interests of the Kaffir colonists! Should you not reflect the path of truth and see the way of right conduct! Should you not have the correct political entity which makes you attain the good in this world and the Hereafter by Jihad for the sake of Allah, and not for the sake of your incapable (Ruwaibidah) rulers and their masters of the Kaffir West confirming what the Almighty said,

(إِنَّمَا الْمُؤْمِنُونَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا بِاللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَرْتَابُوا وَجَاهَدُوا بِأَمْوَالِهِمْ وَأَنفُسِهِمْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أُوْلَئِكَ هُمُ الصَّادِقُونَ)

"The believers are only the ones who have believed in Allah and His Messenger and then doubt not but strive with their properties and their lives in the cause of Allah. It is those who are the truthful. [Al-Hujurat: 15].
