TULKAREM, (PIC)-- Hamas lawmaker in Tulkarem Abdulrahman Zeidan strongly denounced Mahmoud Abbas’s security militias for their persistence in kidnapping Palestinian citizens who were recently released from Israeli jails.
These remarks came after the security apparatuses of the Palestinian Authority (PA) kidnapped a number of newly-released noted national figures like Salah Atiya from Ramallah and summoned many others for interrogation like Anwar Aamier from Tulkarem.
MP Zeidan also deplored the military court of Jericho for arbitrarily sentencing Awadallh Ashtiyeh, a municipal council member in Salem village in Nablus, to 10 months in prison.
The lawmaker added that the Palestinian military prosecutor in Jericho hastened to hold a kangaroo court and brought false witnesses affiliated with security apparatuses to testify against Ashtiyeh.
He affirmed that senior PA security officers issued lately statements stressing the need for issuing a judicial verdict against Ashtiyeh, who is highly respected in his village, at any cost to keep him from running for any municipal elections in the future.
Ashtiyeh was kidnapped eight months ago by Abbas’s intelligence apparatus and jailed in Juneid prison shortly after he was released from Israeli jails.

RAMALLAH, (PIC)-- Militias loyal to former PA chief Mahmoud Abbas kidnapped two Hamas supporters in the West Bank over the past 24 hours including the prominent leader in Ramallah district Saleh Atiya.
A Hamas statement in the West Bank said on Sunday that those militias broke into the home of Atiya in Khirbita Al-Mishbah village, Ramallah district, only two days after his release from Israeli occupation jails.
The militias tried to detain him on the first day but the intensified presence of people coming to congratulate him on his release blocked their attempt and they delivered him a summons, which he refused to obey.
Abbas's militias had tried Atiya in absentia while in Israeli jails on charges of possession of Hamas funds, forming an executive force, similar to the one formed in Gaza, and contacting agent and hostile parties referring to Hamas-controlled Gaza.
Atiya served 17 years in occupation jails including 8 years in the Aqsa intifada and his two sons were arrested by the Israeli occupation forces and Abbas's militias several times.
Abbas's militias also detained the 60-year-old Imam of Til village, Nablus district, Sheikh Tahsin Ramadan.
