JENIN, Thursday, February 20, 2020 (WAFA) – Mother of a Palestinian prisoner in Israel was denied today the right to visit her son in prison, reported WAFA correspondent.

He said that Israeli soldiers manning a checkpoint northwest of Ramallah stopped Amneh Abu Diak, from Silat al-Daher village near the northern West Bank city of Jenin, as she was on her way to visit her son, Samer, who has served 15 years out of a life sentence, at Ramle prison in central Israel and was told she cannot proceed with the visit.

He said the soldiers turned Abu Diak back after taking the long trip from her village since early this morning to visit one of two of her sons imprisoned for resisting the occupation.

A third son, Sami Abu Diak, died in prison last November 26 of medical negligence.
