10/10/2011 - 08:37 PMNABLUS, (PIC)-- Hundreds of people participated in the funeral of Hafez Abu Zunt who was killed in a resistance attack against occupation in 1976 and whose body was detained by occupation since then in an unmarked grave in what is known as the numbers cemeteries.
Hamas lawmakers Yaser Mansour, Muna Mansour, Sheikh Hamed al-Bitawi and Hasan al-Bourini, representing Nablus, participated in the funeral.
They expressed pride in Palestinian martyrs who fell in defence of the cause over the years, stressing that those martyrs will remain alive in the Palestinian conscience and memory, even if the occupation detains their corpses and denies their families the right to bid them farewell and lay them to rest.
The funeral started from outside the Rafidya hospital towards Martyrs Square, where funeral prayers were performed and eulogies were delivered.
Participants in the funeral stressed that every effort should be made for the release of all detained corpses in the numbers cemeteries.
Abu Zunt along with Mashoor Arouri and Khaled Abu Zeyad carried out an attack against occupation forces in the Jordan valley on 18 May 1976 in retaliation for the killing of school girl Lina al-nabulsi by IOF troops earlier that year. The three were killed and their corpses detained. Arouri’s corpse was released last year.
