Palestinian prisoner Mohamed Sabha said a meeting in Shatta prison between leaders of the captive movement and Israeli jailers was held on Sunday to discuss all points related to the Israeli pledges to improve the incarceration conditions of prisoners.
Ahrar center of prisoner studies and human rights said on Monday that it received a letter from prisoner Sabha affirming that the agreement that was signed between the Israeli prison authority and senior Palestinian prisoners to end their hunger strike is still effective and going well.
According to the letter, the meeting was attended by Israeli intelligence officer Avi Biton and senior prisoners Mohamed Sabha, Motasem Samara and Muammar Shahrour, representatives of the prisoners who went on mass hunger strike in mid-April.
The letter also affirmed that the meeting addressed the issue of prisoners who are forbidden from seeing their families for security reasons and preparations are underway to solve this point.
The Israeli prison authority also started to allow the prisoners to have access gradually to some of their basic rights according to the agreement including the improvement of food and the right to buy seasonal vegetables, clothing, and other stuff.
As for the Jordanian prisoners, the Israeli officer said the Shin Bet has no objection at all to allow the Jordanian detainees to be visited by their families every two weeks, provided that the Jordanian authorities also should make arrangements from their side for these visits.
