The Israeli prison service (IPS) has issued a decision prohibiting Palestinian prisoners, who are accused of killing Israelis, of having photographs with their relatives during visits.
According to Israel’s Channel 7, the decision was taken after a photo was published recently on the Internet of prisoner Omar al-Abd, accused of killing three settlers in the illegal settlement of Halamish, with his mother who was visiting him in jail.
IPS took the decision in this regard in response to pressures by the Zionist organization of Im Tirtzu, who called for preventing Palestinian families from having photos with their relatives who killed Israelis.
Im Tirtzu claims that such photos are provocative to Israeli bereaved families.
