Ihsanoglu Calls For World Pressures On Israel To Release Palestinian Captives
Secretary General of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu has urged the world community and human rights organizations to pressure Israel into accepting demands of the Palestinian prisoners.
He called, in a statement on Sunday, for the release of the Palestinian administrative detainees who have been on two weeks of hunger strike adding that Israel was the only state in the world legalizing administrative detention.
Ihsanoglu said that Israel was holding Palestinian children in its jails, a thing that the world community should intervene to stop since it constituted a grave violation of human rights.
