<p style="font-size:10pt;">PARIS, (PIC)&#8211; Union for Palestine  organization in France said the holding of the first international  conference on the rights of Palestinian prisoners in the Swiss city of  Geneva next month is a step forward in internationalizing the issue of  Palestinian detainees in Israeli jails.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Siham Azzein, head of the organization,  stressed the need to put the European public opinion in the picture of  what happens inside Israel&#8217;s prisons, especially in the presence of  Israeli media misinformation working on concealing the truth and showing  Israel as a democratic state.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Azzein urged the organizers to work on  making the conference the starting point for a stronger start that  targets all segments of the European societies across the continent in  order to highlight the injustice inflicted by Israel on Palestinian  prisoners.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">She also emphasized the need for using  international law to shed light on the legitimacy of prisoners&#8217; rights  in general, whether they were in Israeli or Arab jails, especially the  rights of imprisoned women and children.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The conference will be held for two days as of March 11 under the name &#8220;Working for justice&#8221; at the UN headquarters in Geneva.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">It will be organized by the European  network to defend the rights of Palestinian prisoners known as &#8220;UFree,&#8221;  the Swiss organization of Rights for All and North South 21  organization.</p>
