Back in late April, Al Mayadeen reported that the Israeli prisons administration is aiming to isolate Aridah from everything going on around him by revoking his visitation rights illegally, as he is transferred during visitation hours or his parents are banned from visiting him under the pretext that they pose a security threat, the sources added.
