Thousands of Palestinian prisoners — most of them detained without charge — have been released from Israeli jails as part of the Gaza ceasefire deal. Reunions saw a mix of joy and sadness after people heard about the conditions their loved ones endured. Electroshock devices, physical and sexual abuse, starvation and outbreaks of diseases. But several high-profile prisoners - including Marwan Barghouti - remain in Israeli jails. Hundreds more were forced into exile by Israel. And the majority return to rubble in Gaza and risk being arrested again in the Occupied West Bank. So, is it possible for former Palestinian prisoners to truly embrace freedom with life under occupation and the scars of Israeli detention? Presenter: Sami Zeidan Guests: Milena Ansari - The Israel and Palestine Researcher at Human Rights Watch and trained in International Law. Basil Farraj - Assistant Professor at Birzeit University focusing on political prisoners and carceral violence. Fadia Barghouti - English Supervisor at the Palestinian Ministry of Education and former detainee.

Simone Gbagbo, Ivory Coast’s former First Lady once accused of war crimes, is running in October’s presidential election alongside ally Charles Ble Goude, who is barred from contesting. Both were acquitted by the International Criminal Court for their roles in the 2011 post-election violence that left thousands dead. Gbagbo’s supporters say the nation now needs “a mother” to unite a divided country. Opposition figures loyal to Laurent Gbagbo and Tidjane Thiam have been detained, and protests banned. Analysts warn the country risks sliding into another post-election crisis. Meanwhile, 83-year-old President Alassane Ouattara seeks a fourth term after changing the constitution. Many Ivorians fear the past may again shape their future. Al Jazeera’s Nicolas Haque reports.
