Nablus, Palestine. 27 August 2019. Dozens of Palestinians hold a demonstration in the West Bank city of Nablus to demand that Israel releases the bodies of dozens of Palestinians killed by Israeli forces. Family members held photos of their dear ones, whose body were not returned to them by the Israeli authorities. Human rights organizations have widely condemned the policy of withholding bodies referring to it as a violation of international human rights law, with some considering the practice by Israel as a form of "collective punishment" against Palestinians which adds to the grief and pain of the families of the deceased.

This policy has been practised by Israel since 1967
