GAZA,(PIC)-- Tawfiq Abu Naeem, head of the Palestinian Prisoner's Association, revealed that the Israeli prisons' administration informed the prisoners of the Gaza Strip about its intention to transfer them to three main prisons to facilitate the process of their families' visits during the next few days.

Abu Naeem said, in a written statement, that this step came within the agreement between the prisoners' leadership and the prison administration last week. The agreement was about transferring the prisoners of the Gaza Strip to Raymon, Nafha,and Eichel prisons in order to facilitate their families' visits.

He explained that the visits' dates will be as the following, Raymond prison on March 20, Nafha prison on March 27 and Eichel prison on June 4.

He pointed out that the total number of prisoners who will be visited in these three days will be between 100 to 120 prisoners, until organizing the rest of the prisoners’ visits that were not included in the three days.

The Zionist authorities prevented the visits of the Gaza Strip's prisoners since 2007 after Shalit's capture by the Palestinian resistance.
