Prisoners Media Office affirmed that Israeli occupation authorities have been denying families of Gazan Hamas prisoners over 100 detainees their right to visit their imprisoned sons for the fourth month by a decision of Israeli Internal Security Minister Gilad Erdan.
In a statement on Monday Prisoners Media Office pointed out that Israeli courts have not responded yet to the case filed by Hamas captives at the Israeli Supreme Court for the demand of resuming family visitation schedule which has been halted since last July.
The statement added that Israeli occupation authorities have been using ban of visit orders in order to pressure Hamas Movement to offer waivers with regards to the Israeli soldiers and officers who are missing since the Israeli aggression on Gaza in 2014.
The prisoners’ statement stressed that banning a number of the families of Gazan detainees from visiting their relatives in Israeli jails runs contrary to all international laws and norms. They called on the International Committee of the Red Cross to exert more efforts for reactivating the visitation schedule for all families of prisoners from the Gaza Strip.
