The Palestinian Authority's semi-official prisoners organization has declared that it will push for human rights charges to be filed in international courts against Israeli prison guards.
The organization, the Palestinian Prisoners' Club (PPC), announced their latest campaign following an emergency meeting Tuesday during which the members discussed the Ketziot Prison riot last week. During the riot, one prisoner died and 15 were injured, along with 15 prison guards. According to the PPC, they will be seeking to charge Israeli prison officials with

"war crimes" against Arab prisoners.
Regarding the venue for the prospective law suits, the PPC said that it was counting on "law-oriented organizations and international jurists" to "assume responsibility for filing lawsuits with special courts in the world." The PPC called for sworn affidavits regarding abuses by Israeli Prison Service (IPS) employees and officials.
In one well-known instance of an Israeli security serviceman facing human rights charges in a foreign court, retired Maj. Gen. Doron Almog narrowly escaped arrest when he refused to disembark at Heathrow's International Airport in 2005.
Officers from Scotland Yard were waiting for Almog with an arrest warrant following charges filed against him in a UK court for alleged "war crimes" he committed as head of the IDF Southern Command from 2000 to 2003. However, an Israeli military attache from the consulate warned Almog at the last moment to remain on the plane.
At the time, senior IDF officers named and targeted by far-left groups in Israel and abroad were warned against travel to England. However, no other arrest warrants were issued by British judges against Israeli officers for alleged crimes committed against non-UK citizens. Israelis have since faced charges in Britain for alleged crimes committed in Israel against citizens of the United Kingdom.
British law gives UK courts universal jurisdiction over foreigners for crimes committed overseas against other foreigners, provided the charges fall under the rubric of violations of the Geneva Conventions.
