A Palestinian prisoner from East Jerusalem has not seen his mother in 12 years, the Palestinian Prisoners Club said on Monday. It said Mahmoud Issa, 44, who is serving three life terms plus 46 years, was held in solitary confinement for 12 years and was only brought out of isolation following the prisoners’ strike in April. An attorney for the Prisoners Club said after visiting Issa in Gilboa prison that the Israel Prison Service has not allowed Issa’s family visitation since his placement in solitary confinement and that he has not been allowed to see his mother since then. Issa was worried he might not see his ailing mother at all if she is not given permission to visit him in prison soon.
