National parties intend to take Sabri case to UNCHR

RAMALLAH, (PIC)-- The national campaign to defend teacher Mirvat Sabri decided to take her case to the UN commission on human rights (UNCHR) as she is still imprisoned arbitrarily in Mahmoud Abbas’s jails in the West Bank and exposed to constant maltreatment.

The family committee of detainees in West Bank jails said for its part on Sunday that Sabri is a young mother of two little children one aged five and the other still a baby, and a wife of Abdulfatah Shreim, who is also a prisoner in Abbas’s jails in Beitunia.

The committee added that Sabri was kidnapped by Abbas’s security militias many times, the latest was in April after she was summoned to the court and the judge ordered her detention on a charge of helping her husband in harboring outlaws (two Palestinian resistance fighters affiliated with Hamas)

The committee highlighted that the detention of Sabri is a criminal offense that cannot be legally or morally justified and a reflection of the state of savagery and the absence of freedoms that prevail in the West Bank and many of Hamas-affiliated Palestinians are suffering from.

It expressed its dismay at the state of silence demonstrated by human rights organizations, media outlets and all Palestinian factions towards a Palestinian mother being deprived of feeding her young baby and locked up in a cell just because she made her home a place for Palestinians who resisted the occupation.
