JENIN, (PIC)-- Dr. Aziz Dwaik, the speaker of the Palestinian parliament, strongly condemned the random political arrest campaign against Hamas members at the hands of the militia of Fatah leader Mahmoud Abbas, urging him to free all political detainees in the PA jails.
“Such thing (kidnapping honorable people in the community) didn’t happen in human history but in certain dark periods of peoples’ history”, Dwaik said in a press statement he issued.
Since Sunday, the militia of Abbas carried out barbaric arrest campaign against Palestinian professors at Al-Najah University in Nablus city, alleging they were members of Hamas Movement.
Dwaik also warned that such practices don’t serve the Palestinian national interests and hampers efforts for restoring national unity and reconciliation, which he described as “legitimate and national imperative”.
In this regard, Dwaik urged Abbas to immediately free the political detainees from his jails in order to help them retake their active role in the Palestinian community.
He also hailed the four Palestinian Jerusalemite lawmakers who the Israeli occupation authorities threaten to exile out of the city.
Tens of Hamas supporters were arrested in different parts of the West bank at the hands of the PA security departments.
Palestinian women working for charities catering for orphans and poor and needy families weren’t spared the wave of the arrests as they were summoned to the PA security departments that asked them to immediately halt their activities in the charities.
A number of the female detainees got sick after they were detained in unhealthy condition in the PA jails.
Meanwhile, policewomen working with Abbas intelligence department stormed the house of Nada Jayyosi in a bid to arrest her but she resisted the arrest attempt and insisted to take her nine children with her.
