GAZA (PIC)– Palestinian minister of prisoners’ affairs Faraj Al-Ghoul deplored in a letter he handed to director of the Red Cross office in Gaza Stephane Beytrison the international agency’s silence towards Israel’s violations against the Palestinian prisoners in its jails.
Ghoul explained in his letter the deteriorating incarceration conditions which the Palestinian prisoners are experiencing in Israeli jails especially after Israel created the Shalit law which deprived them of their basic rights.
“It is no longer acceptable for us to hear flimsy excuses especially after the occupation unveiled its true face when it dealt with the prisoners through imposing the Shalit law” he told Beytrison.
The Red Cross director for his part promised to study the appeals mentioned in the letter and pressure Israel to improve the imprisonment conditions of prisoners in its jails.
