Israel allows Gazan prisoners to call their families

Gaza, July 4, (Pal Telegraph) The Israeli occupation authorities Decided to allow prisoners of the Gaza Strip, to call their families about a month ago from the beginning of Ramadan and after negotiations and an appeal done by the leadership of the prisoners movement.
The prisoners in ‘Ramleh’ prisonsaid that The Gaza Strip prisoners in Israeli jails have begun to send appeals to call their families by telephone to the prison administration after this agreement. The prisoners said that the administration had expressed willingness to grant all prisoners of Gaza phone calls with their families and they will be given these calls before the holy month of Ramadan of this year.
The prisoners of the Gaza Strip are deprived of all their rights since the capture of the Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit, in particular their right to visit their families and the entry of widgets for them and dealing with some of them as illegal combatants.
More than 7 thousand five hundred Palestinian prisoners languish in Israeli jails with tragic situations due to the arbitrary occupation measures against them.
The Israeli Government decided months ago to tighten the control on prisoners of the Hamas movement in Israeli prisons, in order to put pressure on Hamas to release captured Israeli soldier, Gilad Shalit, who is located in Gaza Strip for nearly four years now.
