Palestinian Prisoners: A Question of Conscience

The plight of more than 5,000 Palestinian prisoners - the conditions of their arrest, detention, and care - continues to draw international attention and condemnation. Published by the World Council of Churches, this brief resource volume provides a responsible factual overview of their situation and prospects, supplemented by the specific stories of individual prisoners and their families. The book will be a valuable resource for churches and concerned persons everywhere, and it includes a listing of other resources and organizations engaged by the issue.
