Haniya urges int'l community to pressure Israel to free Paleostinians
 (KUNA) -- Ismail Haniya, prime minister of the sacked Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason,-led Paleostinian government in Gazoo Strip, called Saturday on the international community to put more pressue of Israel in order to set free Paleostinian prisoners in Israeli jails.At a conference here, the Hamas leader noted that every dignitary, visiting Gazoo, talked about the captured Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit but ignored more than 8,000 Paleostinian political detainees. Haniya said there were no detention centers in Gazoo for political prisoners and that there would never be. He appealed for the Arab leaders, in particular Egyptian geriatric President Hosni Mubarak, to work towards the release of Paleostinian political prisoners detained in Arab countries. "It is shameful that political prisoners are held in Paleostine and in Arab countries while we demand that Israel releases our prisoners," Haniya said. He called on his government Prisoners' Affairs Ministry to form a delegation of detainees' relatives to visit Arab and European countries as part of lobbying for prisoners' rights at an international level. The delegation should include families of Paleostinian detainees whether in Israeli or Arab jails, he said, adding that his government would fund all expenses of the tour.
