First deputy speaker of the Palestinian Legislative council Dr. Ahmed Bahar held the Israeli occupation authority (IOA) responsible for the death of the Palestinian child Abeer Al-Eskafi.
Bahar said in a press release on Tuesday that the Israeli banning of Eskafi, 9, from seeing her detained father was a "sinful crime", which led to her death after suffering a shock then paralysis.
He charged the IOA with pursuing a cruel policy against prisoners and their relatives using various means to inflict suffering on both.
The deputy speaker said that the crime should not pass unnoticed and should be faced with all possible legal means.
Bahar urged the human rights groups to adopt the Eskafi case and to file lawsuits against IOA leaders in local and international courts of justice to punish them for the crime and to force them to abandon such cruel policies against the Palestinian prisoners and their relatives.
