Dr. Abdullah Abu Houria, a member of the government team in the prisoner exchange negotiations, stated that another round of negotiations on prisoners will begin next week in the Jordanian capital, Amman.

Abu Houria said: The United Nations-sponsored negotiations will hold a new round on the 26th of this month, to continue negotiations on the principle of all for all, and the release of the reformist leader Muhammad Qahtan will be the first topic raised by the government team.

Dr. Abdullah hoped that the negotiations would succeed in releasing all prisoners, detainees and forcibly disappeared persons, and ending the suffering of all families due to the absence of their children, most of whom do not know their fate and are not allowed to communicate with them.
