PA intelligence to hold military trials against hunger strikers in its jails[ 05/01/2011 - 04:58 PM ]
WEST BANK, (PIC)-- Without considering their poor health conditions, the Palestinian authority's intelligence apparatus told the hunger strikers in its jails on Tuesday that they would have to appear before military courts.
Informed sources said that PA intelligence officers demanded Wael Al-Bitar who is imprisoned in Bethlehem jail and the other hunger strikers in Al-Khalil prison to sign papers in preparation for their appearance before military courts.
The hunger strikers strongly rejected these measures and insisted on being released according to the decisions issued earlier by the higher court of justice.
Observers believe that the PA security apparatuses want to circumvent the release decisions issued by the higher court of justice and invoke the existence of new security files against the hunger strikers.
They added that the security apparatuses also want to dispose of the public and media pressures that demand the PA to respect the decisions issued by the higher court of justice and release the hunger strikers.

DAMASCUS, (PIC)-- Member of Hamas's political bureau Mohamed Nazzal said his Movement would never provide cover for the slaughter of detainees in the Palestinian authority's jails, especially after some of them neared death as a result of torture.
In a press statement published by Palestine newspaper on Tuesday, Nazzal added that the severe torture inflicted on political detainees in PA jails prompted Hamas to halt the reconciliation talks for a while with Fatah faction.
He noted that the Palestinian public opinion is aware that Fatah-controlled PA and not Hamas is to blame for hindering the national reconciliation, adding that the PA security apparatuses are not concerned with ending the internal division.
The official underscored that the prospects for a Palestinian reconciliation is kind of absent at the present time because of the direct Israeli-American intervention in the Palestinian affairs and the veto imposed on reaching reconciliation with Hamas.
In the same context, Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum strongly denounced Fatah official Azzam Al-Ahmed for making lies about Hamas and accusing it of thwarting the national reconciliation, stressing that such claims proved that Fatah is in real trouble and wants to drag Hamas as usual into wrangling with it in this regard in order to cover its internal crisis.
Spokesman Barhoum told the Palestinian information center (PIC) on Tuesday that Al-Ahmed made his remarks in order to cover the crisis inside Fatah and the violations committed by its security militias in the West Bank.
The spokesman emphasized that Fatah wanted the reconciliation talks in Damascus to be a cover for its national and humanitarian crimes in the West Bank, but when Hamas showed flexibility in all sessions and tabled the security file, Fatah unveiled its real intents and unwillingness to end the division.
