If the same thing happened to one of the captured Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit's parents or his old grandfather for not being able to see their son the whole world would have stood up in rage and would have labeled the Palestinian people as war criminals who should be punished, the spokesman elaborated.
Ashqar, who was speaking at a ceremony organized by the women branch of Hamas east of Rafah to honor families of Palestinian prisoners, explained the suffering of Palestinian prisoners and their relatives due to the Israeli visit deprivation policy.
He also tackled the deliberate medical neglect of prisoners on the part of the Israeli prison service (IPS), relaying a number of incidents due to such a sustained policy during which some of the prisoners died.
The spokesman charged the IPS with delaying urgent surgeries for years, giving prisoners expired medication or not fit for their diseases, and finally depriving them of proper meals.
