GAZA, (PIC)-- Sultan al-Ajlouni, a Jordanian former captive in Israeli jails, on Thursday called for the activation of the issue of captives in Israeli occupation jails until the last captive is freed.

"Whatever we do in support of the captives, we would not be doing enough to match their great sacrifices and their defence of the honour of the Ummah," Ajlouni said during a press conference at the start of his visit to the Gaza Strip.

He said he was glad to visit the liberated land of Gaza; "I am a guest of a people who are still making great sacrifices to liberate their land."

Ajlouni's visit is mainly aimed at supporting captives and their families as well as connecting with societies that work in this field.

He said that he will cover these issues on his weekly television programme "ahrar" which is dedicated to the issue of Palestinian captives in Israeli occupation jails.

Ajlouni was captured and jailed by the Israelis in 1990 when he crossed the Jordan as he was still a teenager and attacked an Israeli occupation military post with a hand pistol killing an IOF officer. He was freed in August 2008.

Waed society for captives and ex-captives welcomed Ajlouni and prepared a special programme of visits and interviews for him.
