WEST BANK, (PIC)– The Israeli occupation authority (IOA) still bars dozens of Palestinian families from leaving the West Bank to meet their exiled relatives who were released as part of the swap deal with Hamas Movement, according to UFree, the European network to support the rights of Palestinian Prisoners.

Many Palestinian prisoners were exiled to the Gaza Strip, Syria, Turkey and Qatar following a recent swap deal between Hamas and Israel; the latter, however, refuses to allow families of these ex-detainees to travel to where they are.

UFree said that dozens of West Bank families, mostly women and children, were denied travel to meet their freed husbands, fathers and husbands, and prevented from crossing King Hussein and Karama bridges for alleged security reasons.

UFree condemned the IOA for making flimsy security excuses to prevent families from traveling to meet their relatives.

What kind of security danger could a 14-year old girl like Sarah Kafisha cause if she visited her own father whom she knows only from pictures? UFree questioned.
