Palestinian families turned back from visiting detained loved ones
While Israel claims it turned them back due to not having 3rd dose of COVID vaccine, Prisoners' Club says they do.
Jerusalem24 – The Palestinian Prisoners’ Club said in a statement today, that Israeli forces have returned dozens of Palestinian families headed to visit their loved ones in the prisons of Hadarim, Beersheba and Ofer.
This is the third time it occurs, with the Israelis claiming that they did not receive the third dose of the COVID vaccine.
In the statement, the Prisoners Club said that many of the people whom they transferred have already received the vaccine. However, the soldiers at the military checkpoints still removed them from the Red Cross busses transporting them.
It is note worthy that the Israeli prions administration has not announced any change in its procedures regarding visitations either.
The Palestinian prisoners’ club called on the International Committees of the Red Cross to uphold its role in securing the visits of Palestinian detainees without hindrance, as they are the party with the main responsibility for this issue.
The Prisoners’ Club claims that the Israeli authorities are taking advantage of the epidemic to impose more depriving procedures and transform some temporary measures into fixed policies.
