<p style="font-size:10pt;">GAZA, (PIC)&#8211; Several prisoner rights  groups in Europe will hold mid-March the first ever Conference on the  Rights of Palestinian Prisoners at UN headquarters in Geneva, the Wa&#8217;id  prisoner rights group announced.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">&#8220;It constitutes an important precedent to  expose Israel&#8217;s crimes against nearly 7,000 male and female prisoners,  who include children, women and ill people,” said Wa&#8217;id media  spokesperson Abdullah Qandil.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">&#8220;The conference will give greater momentum  for this forgotten cause, especially since the prisoners issue has  suffered clear negligence in terms of international attention, and since  the Geneva convention announced by the European Network to Support the  Rights of the Palestinian Prisoners (Ufree) is regarded a recovery for  the prisoners cause after loss it suffered in European forums due to  lack of real previous steps focusing on the matter.”</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Qandil said Wa&#8217;id will take part in the  conference and will submit several memoranda on the latest status of the  captives in Israeli prisons.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The conference is to be held by Ufree  (Norway), Rights for All (Switzerland) and North-South 21 on March 11 at  the UN headquarters in Geneva and will have heavy attendance by  jurists, politicians and other interested parties.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Freed prisoners will be invited to give testimonies on prison conditions.</p>
