The Palestinian prisoners' relatives committees based in the West Bank city of Nablus urged the international community to work for the release of their loved ones incarcerated in the Israeli jails.

The committee, in their statement, affirmed that the Palestinian captives are being exposed to humiliating mistreatment on the part of the Israeli prisons authority.

They strongly flayed the Israeli authorities for paying no attention to the Palestinian internees' suffering as evident in the huge fire raged over the past few days in the Negev desert prison, which devoured the prisoners' tents and personal belongings.

They underlined that the captives' next of kin are very much concerned over their sons' lives that might be jeopardized at any moment thanks to the prisons authority's disregard of their ordeal.

The Israeli authorities are contriving new means to repress the Palestinian inmates topped by holding them under administrative detention in addition to depriving them of family visits.

For her part, Nagham Al-Khayat, the committee's coordinator, said that a catastrophe was about to befell the Palestinian captives in the Negev jail in view of the prison authority's negligence.

Khayat pleaded with the PA chief, Mahmoud Abbas, to consider the captives' questions his topmost priority.
