Appeal for the release of elderly man from occupation jail

Appeal for the release of elderly man from occupation jail
 

NABLUS, (PIC)-- Ahrar center for prisoners' studies and human rights appealed to human rights organisations to work for the release of Haj Sami Sha’ballo, 70 years, from Askalan prison where he is being interrogated.
Director of Ahrar, Fouad al-Khuffash, said that Sha’ballo was arrested on 21 May after IOF troops raided his home in Nablus, ransacked it and confiscated all mobile phones.
He added that Sha’ballo is the father of liberated prisoner Kamal Sha’ballo who was released and exiled to the Gaza Strip after serving 9 years in occupation jails.
Kamal expressed concern for the wellbeing of his father saying that interrogation at Askalan prison is extremely harsh and that his elderly father cannot withstand it.
He added that he spent two months in interrogation at that prison 10 years ago and it was difficult for him as a young man and wondered how his 70-year-old father could withstand different types of torture at his age.
Ahrar center noted that the Israeli occupation is putting extra pressure on the families of liberated captives, especially those who were exiled to the Gaza Strip.
