The occupation's prison service administration is still denying the family of Jerusalemite captive Mahmoud Issa, 44 from town of Anata, from visiting him.

Lawyer for the Palestinian Prisoner Society (PPS) quoted captive Issa as saying that he and all prisoners who were released from solitary confinement are making every possible effort to compel prison administration to implement all the terms of the agreement, signed after the empty stomachs battle waged by captive movement over 28 days, especially the term concerning allowing the families to visit their detained relatives.

Captive Issa, who is held in Gilboa prison after serving 12 years in solitary confinement cells, called on all institutions and actors to intensify pressure on the Israeli occupation authorities to compel it to allow his family to visit him.

For its part, the PPS considered the continuation of depriving captive Issa's family from visiting him as a flagrant violation of all international norms and laws, calling on Egypt, the sponsor of the prisoners' deal, to intervene in order to oblige the Prison administration to implement the terms of the agreement.
