94 2‐ Family Visits and Communication with the Outside World The Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners requires allowing the accused to immediately inform their families of their detention, and to be granted all reasonable facilitation to communicate with, and receive visits101 from family and friends. The Principles for the Protection of All Persons under Any Form of Detention or Imprisonment affirms the right of the detained person to receive visits by his family, and to have adequate opportunity to communicate with the outside world102. The Palestinian Penal Procedural Code has acknowledged the right of the person held in custody to contact103 family and to have access to family visits. Prevention from family visits can only be issued by the Public Prosecutor and interrogators. In this context, ICHR recorded (64) violations which were made by the relatives of detainees held by the Internal Security Service in the Gaza Strip. To offer one example, ICHR received a complaint on 27/04/2010 from Zeid Abdul Baset al‐Ghol, 24, from Gaza, demanding the Internal Security Service to investigate his detention due to his political affiliation on 30/03/2010 without an arrest warrant issued by the Public Prosecution, and allowing his family to visit him. 3‐ Presentation of Civilians Before Military Courts in the Gaza Strip Arrest of civil and military citizens, especially members of Fatah Movement (due to their political affiliation) in the Gaza Strip by a decision of the military justice, is done through the Military Public Prosecution Office, and according to certain charges.
