WEST BANK, (PIC)-- Families of Palestinian detainees in PA jails in the West Bank said Sunday that the immediate release of their sons from jails would be the most important indicator and introduction to national reconciliation.

"despite the pains and agonies that still exist in the hearts of hundreds of Palestinian mothers, wives, and children of the political detainees in the PA jails, we welcome the Palestinian reconciliation that would unite our people again and would restore the Palestinian social fabric on the right track", said the committee of the detainees' families in a statement they issued Sunday.

They also confirmed that they have received promises from high-ranking Palestinian leaders that their loved ones would be released soon from jails, warning that any breach of those promises would constitute big blow to the reconciliation efforts.

Moreover, the committee urged media outlets to contribute into halting political detention by exposing any political arrests or summonses, calling for the immediate halt of such abhorred practice once and for all.
