Human rights activist: Prisoners issue should rise above all differences
Palestinian human rights activists expressed their regret at the refusal of the Palestinian Authority in Ramallah and its institutions to take part in the conference supporting the Palestinian prisoners that kicked off Saturday in Tunisia.
The researcher at Tadamun Foundation for human rights, Ahmed Beitawi, told Quds Press: "The participation in this conference is obligatory and necessary because the issue of Palestinian prisoners should be on the top priorities and should rise above all political differences between the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip."
He called on all Palestinian governmental and non-governmental human rights organizations to unite their efforts in order to serve the prisoners' case.
Beitawi stressed the importance of international conferences in supporting the captives, noting that they represent a step towards internationalizing the prisoners' issue. He called for developing a detailed and systematic plan to support this issue at the legal, media and public levels.
The "Change and Reform" bloc in the Palestinian Legislative Council considered that hosting an international conference supporting Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails by Tunisia is "a natural outgrowth of the Arab Spring revolutions and proves the recognition that the prisoners are defenders of the dignity of the Arab and Islamic nation."
The bloc described in a statement on Saturday the conference as a "great initiative" and hoped that it will "lead to more events able to liberate the captives."
The international conference in support of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails kicked off this morning in the Tunisian capital, Tunis, under the official auspices of the Tunisian President Moncef Marzouki.

Interrogation of Addameer Researcher, Ayman Nasser, Extended Once Again
Addameer researcher and human rights defender, Ayman Nasser, has his interrogation period extended by an Israeli military court for a further seven days. Ayman, who was arrested on 15 October 2012, has now spent 25 consecutive days in interrogation, some of which involved 20 hours of interrogation, during which time his hands have been constantly handcuffed behind his back.
Ayman appeared before the Moskobiyyeh Israeli military court in Jerusalem, where the prosecution requested that his interrogation period be extended for 12 days. However, following the intervention of Addameer lawyer Mahmoud Hassan, this was reduced to seven days.
Addameer are particularly concerned for Ayman's health, considering the length of some of the interrogation sessions, which have risen to 20 hours in duration. These interrogations are causing Ayman immense back pain and he continues to be denied the appropriate medication. As previously reported Ayman suffers from a number of health issues including inflammation in his colon and back pain. Until his arrest he was receiving constant medical treatment by specialized doctors.
When not in interrogation Ayman continues to be held in isolation in a cell that is 2 meters in height and 1.5 meters in length. The air condition is continuously on a low temperature, emitting cold air and causing Ayman severe distress, while he only has one blanket with which to keep himself warm. The sole light in Ayman's cell is on continuously, making it difficult for Ayman to sleep. Due to the conditions of his isolation Ayman does not know if it is day or night.
The main focus of his interrogation continues to be his civic activities relating to his role in advocating for the rights of Palestinian political prisoners and his involvement in the Handala Center, which is an educational, artistic center in Ayman's village Saffa and of which Ayman is the Chairperson.
Addameer is also concerned that the interrogation sessions are not being recorded which leave open the possibility of abuse by the interrogators.
