Hamas accused of blocking access to prisoners
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA Gaza-based NGO is accusing the security services of the Palestinian territory’s Hamas rulers of preventing it from seeing prisoners on hunger strike.
The Hamas interior ministry denies the allegations, saying it respects the rule of law and that there are no such hunger strikes.
