TEHRAN -- Iran has called on the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) to secure release of two Palestinian lawmakers, jailed in Israeli prisons.

"Iran's IPU branch condemns the hostile move of the occupier regime of the holy Qods (Israel) and calls for immediate and unconditional release of the (Palestinian) legislators," read a letter sent to Secretary General of the Inter-Parliamentary Union, Anders Johnson, on the matter by Iran's IPU (IIPU) branch Head, MP Jalil Sazegarnejad.

The letter, a copy of which was made available to IRNA asked Johnson to rally the IPU's condemnation of the arrest.

A member of the Palestinian Legislation Assembly, Marwan Barghuti, and two members of the National Palestinian Parliament are in Israeli prisons since times ago.

Sazegarnejad, an MP from southern city of Shiraz, Fars Province, said world's silence in the face of the arrest would make the Zionist state even bolder in its brutal crimes and blatant violation of human rights.

"The Israeli arrest of the Palestinian parliamentarians is not acceptable at all and the criminal acts of Israel in the course of arresting them marks blatant violations of the registered human rights and are condemnable," read the letter.

The Iranian official said that the arrest and intimidation of the lawmakers reveals the terrorist nature of the Israeli regime, indicating open violation of democracy and parliamentary rights.

Extensive attacks of the Qods occupying regime's army on Palestinian cities and villages and the appalling catastrophe in different Palestinian regions all show that the Zionist Regime of Israel has taken dismantling of the Al-Aqsa Intifada and Palestinians' genocide as its prime goals, according to the letter.

It concluded that unfortunately, silence of the international community has prepared the ground for more injustice against the Palestinian nation.
