NABLUS, (PIC)-- Al-Ahrar center for prisoners' studies and human rights called on families of Palestinian prisoners and human rights organizations to necessarily respond to the active moves made by the Shalit family to pressure their government to get their son released. The center called for taking action in response to the propaganda being made by the family of Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit who receive massive official and popular support. It urged the Palestinian authority and the Legislative council to develop joint plans to launch a national campaign in support of the Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails to confront the one being organized by Shalit family who behave as if their son is the only detainee in the world. The human rights center also suggested enacting a Palestinian law prohibiting the resumption of peace negotiations with Israel before finding practical solutions to the issue of prisoners in its jails. The center noted that the Palestinian detainees are exposed to slow systematic killing and the enormity of Israel's violations against them have reached intolerable levels.
