The report said : “ New occupation forces violations were recorded.
The captives were used as human armor or shield during the Israeli war on Gaza Strip.
The occupation had put the Palestinian captives in holes at the front in the fire range. The Palestinian homes were transferred to military stations, while the families who lived there were taken to empty rooms.
 “ The report added that the number of cases of captivation of fishers in the open sea in front of Gaza Strip increased a lot.
Besides that, their boats and equipments were taken from them.
The occupation forces had arrested ill people to investigate them while taking them to medical treatment through Bait Hanoon.
They were pressed to cooperate with the Israeli intelligence.
The organization had affirmed that all the captives had suffered tortures and insults.
The practice of torture, of all kinds, was a phenomena and a constant policy in dealing with Palestinian captives.
As for what is called the administration captivity, or arrest, the human friend organization said that in its report, that the captive is arrested for long years, more than five years, without any specific accusation.
There are some captives who were transferred to administration arrest after they stayed long time in captivity.
The captive Fathi Al Haik, director of the village council, who is considered the oldest administration arrested. He has been there for more than four years.
The organization mentioned that there was a decrease in the captive number at the administration arrest during this year.
There are only 280 in the prisons.
As for the isolated prisoners, the international organization referred to Forth Genève Treaty , clause number 119, which talked in a clear manner about the forbid of isolation of arrested more than thirty days.
That is, independently on the accusation or action the arrested did. This in not respected by the Israeli occupation authorities.
They isolated many captives for a long time, for example, captives like Mahmoud Eissa, Abdullah El barghuti anf Hassan salanah, are isolated since 2002.
 The two captives, Muataz Hijazi and Ahmed El maghribi are isolated since 2004, while the captive Jamal Abu – Alhaija is isolated since 2005.
 The report clarified that the occupation authorities forced the captives, in 2009, to wear the orange color instead of the brown one.
They wanted to be similar to those captives by the American in Guantanamo camp.
 The Human being Friends said that during the last year 15 cases of aggression were registered of captivities of Palestinians, most of who are from Gaza Strip under e description of ( illegal fighter ). Some of such captives were captured during Israeli war on Gaza Strip.
 Some of them were sentenced to be classified as ( illegal fighters ), after their sentences were ended.
Because of that they were kept in Israeli prisons Such a procedure is unfair and contradict the international law of human rights and the just standards.
The Palestinian prison can not enjoy his rights to have a defense lawyer.
No specific accusation is said to him while his capture continues without a specific time.
