<p style="font-size:10pt;">GAZA, (PIC)&#8211; Fouad Al-Khafsh,  director of the Ahrar human rights center in Gaza, anticipated that the  widely participated conference on prisoner rights to be held March 11 at  UN headquarters in Geneva is sure to shift the world&#8217;s attention to the  cause of Palestinian prisoners of war and politics.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">In a recent statement, Khafsh expressed  gratitude to organizers the Oslo-based European Network to Support the  Rights of the Palestinian Prisoners (Ufree), Right for All in  Switzerland and 21 North-South.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">He said that although he had participated  in many international conferences in 2010, this one has an attraction  certain to expose Israel&#8217;s crimes against Palestinian prisoners to the  entire world.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">&#8220;The venue is distinguished and will raise  world attention, being the symbol of demands for human dignity&#8230;The  Geneva Conventions constituted a lever for human rights in the world,”  he said.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The conference is expected to have  high-profile turnout, and will include the former Swiss president, the  president of the Global Parliamentarians, Lord Sheikh from the UK, the  former president of the Red Cross, attorneys and rights organizations,  who will hold roundtable talks and listen to testimonies of ex-prisoners  and their families.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">&#8220;It is one of our top priorities to  transmit the real image highlighting the suffering of Palestinian  captives in Israeli prisons [especially] those in administrative  detention and solitary confinement and who have grown old in prison,”  Khafsh said.</p>
