Please sign and share. G4S provides security systems for major Israeli prisons and detention centres, which hold Palestinian political prisoners from occupied Palestinian territory inside Israel. Human rights organizations have documented systematic torture and ill treatment of Palestinian prisoners, including child prisoners, detained within Israel. The transfer of prisoners from occupied territory into the territory of the occupier contravenes Articles 49 and 76 of the Fourth Geneva Convention. In the Occupied West Bank, G4S provides equipment for a prison, police headquarters, businesses within illegal settlements, a settlement industrial zone and check points along the Illegal Apartheid Wall. Until G4S can prove to the satisfaction of the Council that all abuse has ended, and the company has withdrawn from any involvement in the Occupied Palestinian Territories or Israeli prisons, the petition calls on Tower Hamlets to disqualify G4S from bidding for contracts. https://change.org/p/tower-hamlets-council-disqualify-g4s-from-bidding-for-contracts-in-tower-hamlets?utm_campaign=responsive_friend_inviter_chat&utm_medium=facebook&utm_source=share_petition&recruiter=45830753
