RAMALLAH, (PIC)-- The popular front for the liberation of Palestine (PFLP) strongly denounced Mahmoud Abbas’s security militias for sending young boys of its cadres to military courts as a prelude to judging them.
The PFLP said that most of the boys are under age 18 and called on the Fatah-controlled Palestinian Authority (PA) in Ramallah to release them.
It also demanded the release of a number of its cadres imprisoned for several months in Abbas’s jails in Nablus city.
For its part, the Islamic Jihad Movement said that Abbas’s militias kidnapped one of its cadres, despite his poor health condition, and locked him in their jails.
An Islamic Jihad official affirmed that the PA intelligence apparatus in Jenin summoned Ala’a Sammadi, recently released from Israeli jails, and then arrested him.
The official held Abbas’s militias fully responsible for the life of Sammadi, who was supposed to undergo surgery within days after his health badly deteriorated in Israeli jails.
In separate incidents pertaining to practices of Abbas's militias, Hamas lawmakers in Ramallah on Wednesday deplored Abbas’s militias for arresting university students and thus disrupting their academic year.
The lawmakers said that the ferocious campaign waged by Abbas’s militias against Hamas students at Bir Zeit university confirmed without doubt that the PA seeks to fight the growing Islamic awareness inside universities.
They added that this PA campaign is taking place in conjunction with a similar one launched by the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) in the ranks of Hamas students at West Bank universities.
Abbas’s militias had kidnapped three students, members of Hamas student bloc at the university of Bir Zeit, following a ceremony organized by the bloc to commemorate the 62nd anniversary of the Nakba (catastrophe).
The university administration, which is in cahoots with Abbas’s militias, prevented Hamas lawmakers from attending the ceremony.
For its part, the Movement of Hamas in the West Bank reported Thursday that Abbas’s militias kidnapped 13 of its cadres, many of them are students, in the cities of Nablus, Jenin, Al-Quds, Tulkarem and Al-Khalil.
Hamas lawmaker Yasser Mansour, for his part, said that many detainees in Abbas’s jails are transferred to hospitals in Nablus as a result of the deterioration of their health conditions.
Mansour said the transfer of prisoners Zahir Mossa and Ahmed Awad during this week to hospitals after their health worsened reflects the bad incarceration conditions inside Abbas’s jails.
He appealed to international human rights organizations to intervene to follow up the imprisonment conditions of prisoners in West Bank jails and make every effort to get them released.
