Israeli authorities prevent 2 children from visiting jailed father

Monday 14-November-2016

The Israeli occupation authorities (IOA) on Sunday banned two Palestinian children from visiting their father in the Israeli Rimon jail.

A PIC news correspondent said the IOA banned eight-year-old Yamen and six-year-old Mohamed from visiting their father Wael al-Arja in the Rimon lock-up.

The Israeli occupation army prevented the children from passing through al-Dhahriya checkpoint in southern al-Khalil to reach out to their father whom they said they missed a lot.

Both Yamen and Mohamed have not had contact with their father for the fifth month running due to an Israeli visit-ban.

Prisoner Wael al-Arja has been held in Israeli jails for seven years serving two life-sentences on charges of hurling stones on an Israeli settler vehicle near Halhul town in northern al-Khalil province.
