AMMAN ? The Foreign Ministry is making the final arrangements for a visit by the families of Jordanian prisoners in Israel, a senior official said.
?We are almost there,? said Foreign Minister Nasser Judeh in remarks to The Jordan Times.?
He said his ministry is following up closely on the situation of the five hunger-striking prisoners, stressing that Abdullah Barghouthi is not in a coma as media reports quoted activists as saying.
The health condition of Barghouthi, who is serving 67 life sentences, is stable and is observing Ramadan, while the other hunger strikers are ?in good condition?, according to the minister.
A total of 125 Jordanians are held in Israeli jails, according to Palestinian Minister of Prisoners Affairs Issa Qaraqe in an interview last week with The Jordan Times.?
The last group visit arranged for families of Jordanians behind bars in Israel was in 2008.
Judeh said he will keep the concerned House panels abreast with updates on the prisoners issue.
Meanwhile, the minister announced that seven Jordanians will be released from Iraqi prisons ?soon?.?
