<p>BETHLEHEM (Ma&#8217;an) &#8212; The Palestinian Authority on Monday urged the international community to protect the rights of Palestinian prisoners, the government media center said.</p>
<p>The PA referred to two incidents in which prisoners rights were violated. One case involved a decision by Israeli authorities to<strong> <a href="http://http//beth.maannews.net/eng/ViewDetails.aspx?ID=411707.com" target="blank">ban</a></strong> prisoners&#8217; families from visiting them for up to 17 years after accusations that they smuggled mobile phones into the jail.</p>
<p>The other involved a recent incident in which 40 Palestinian prisoners suffered <strong><a href="http://http//http://beth.maannews.net/eng/ViewDetails.aspx?ID=411424.com" target="blank">food poisoning</a></strong> in an Israeli prison in the Negev.</p>
<p>&#8220;These actions are a violation of international law, particularly the Third Geneva Convention, relative to the Treatment of Prisoners of War,&#8221; a statement said, adding that the PA held the Israeli prison administration responsible for the lives and health of prisoners.</p>
<p>The West Bank government urged international institutions, the Red Cross and the United Nations Commission of Human Rights to do more to pressure Israel to stop its daily &#8220;illegal and unjustified measures against prisoners.&#8221;</p>
