<p>OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)&#8211; A Palestinian woman has been banned from visiting her husband in the Israeli Gilbo’a prison for six months after she refused to visit him by herself two months ago.</p>
<p>The woman Um Azzam, the wife of long-time prisoner Ali Badr al-Maslamani, has called on the Prisoners’ Affairs Ministry and rights groups for intervention.</p>
<p>“In thirty years of visiting my husband in the Israeli prisons, for the first time I have been banned from visiting him. All these years I have never had any problem in visiting,” said Um Azzam, considering the ban a punitive measure taken against her, her children, and grandchildren.</p>
<p>All ten of the couple’s grandchildren have been banned from visiting Maslamani for the past four years. Um Azzam questioned what right the prison has to separate a grandfather from his grandchildren, given that grandchildren are considered first-degree relatives by the Israeli prisons.</p>
<p>The ordeal began two months ago, when the Gilbo’a prison banned Maslamani’s son Ala and his four-year-old son who he had not seen in three years from visiting him. In turn, Um Azzam refused to visit her husband without them.</p>
<p>Maslamani was released from Israeli custody in a prisoner trade-off in 1985 after a four-year bid, but he was arrested again the same year and sentenced to life in prison. Since then he has served 26 years behind bars.</p>
