Saturday 7-March-2009

OCCUPIED JERUSALEM (PIC)– Danny Danon a Likud member of the Israeli parliament has tabled a draft law with the parliament stipulating banning family visits to Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails especially those of the Hamas Movement.

The Israeli TV seventh channel said that Danon’s draft law suggested allowing lawyers and Red Cross representatives to visit those prisoners only once every three months as long as Hamas retained the Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit in captivity.

It quoted him as saying that he wished to deter the Palestinian resistance factions from attempting to capture more Israelis.

Israel retains more than 11000 Palestinian captives in its jails.
