The Commission of Detainees' Affairs denounces the cancellation of family visits for detainees and calls on the Red Cross to intervene immediately

The Commission of Detainees' Affairs called on the International Committee of the Red Cross to intervene immediately with the occupation authorities and prisons administration to stop the policy of cancelling family visits.

The Commission pointed out that the Red Cross informed us about the cancellation of family visits in all prisons without any real justification, relating this to the incidents took place at Remon prison during family visits before two weeks.

The Commission stated: cancelling family visits is based on vengeful intentions and aims at manipulating any event in their favour.

The Commission expressed its deep concern about these procedures and practices which increase the suffering of detainees and their relatives, and stopping these actions should depend on humane and legal basis, where the visits should be organized by international sides headed by the International Committee of the Red Cross.
