[ 27/03/2011 - 03:19 PM ] WEST BANK, (PIC)-- One man was arrested Monday morning and forced to pay bail and prohibited from travel as the Palestinian Authority security agencies continue a politically motivated arrest campaign against Hamas supporters in the West Bank.
The PA militia arrested Samih Mannaa from the Ein Beit al-Maa refugee camp west of Nablus city, locals reported. The PA had also arrested him on previous occasions.
The same day, the PA's preventative security service conditioned that Mohammed Ahmed al-Rayyan pay 1,000 Jordanian dinars in bail and prohibited him from traveling outside of the West Bank in consistency with the Israeli penal measures taken against released prisoners.
Rayyan spent the last two months in PA prisons and appeared before the civil courts more than ten times while in custody. After the prosecution failed to pin an indictment on him and ordered his release. The security agency set some of its own conditions before releasing him.
Several Hamas leaders from the northwest of Jerusalem remain in PA custody, all of them have served years in Israeli and PA prisons. Investigations against them began about two months back.
Separately, the Islamic Jihad movement said in statement released Monday that PA security services in the West Bank have arrested 39 of its cadres within the past two days.
It added that dozens more of its leaders were summoned across the West Bank province of Jenin.
The PA has been holding founding member of the Islamic Jihad Abdul-Hakeem Musalima, 52, for the last several months after a manhunt in Israel that lasted nine years.
