PLO Condemns Israeli Maltreatment of Prisoners

Pyongyang, October 12 (KCNA) -- Yasser Abed Rabbo, secretary general of the Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), in a statement on October 9 condemned Israel for maltreating Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails.

The Israeli authorities are harshly treating Palestinian prisoners in their hunger strike in demand of their legitimate rights, he said.

Terming it a wanton violation of international law, he called upon the international community to press the Israeli authorities to ensure the prisoners the elementary right and set them free at an early date.
