Israeli occupation authorities (IOA) prevented a Palestinian prisoner from Nablus from meeting his sick mother and his father who had obtained special permission from the Red Cross to visit him.
Raed Amer, the director of the Palestinian prisoner’s association in Nablus, stated that the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) and the intelligence service prevented the father of prisoner Mohammed al-Chachtari, held in Gilboa jail and sentenced to life prison, from visiting his son despite having a prior permission from the Red Cross.
Amer added that the prison administration also refused to allow Mohammed's mother to meet her son although she was ill and transported to the prison by an ambulance to see him.
The captive's family appealed to human rights organizations to intervene to stop such punitive measures against Mohammed.
For its part, the PPA asked the international community to pressure the Israeli government to stop these procedures and the policy of administrative detention, and to release the hunger striking prisoners, such as captives Hassan Safadi and Samer al-Barq.
