UFree
Network welcomes the release of Dr. Aziz Dowik, speaker of the
Palestinian Legislative Council (PLC), after being detained in January
at an Israeli checkpoint in the West Bank under the illegal Israeli
administrative detention law.
Mohammed
Hamdan, UFree chairman, said that releasing Dr. Dowik, whom represents
Palestinian legitimacy, is a great victory for Palestinian determination
over the Israeli prisons.
Hamdan
pointed that the continuing detention for members of PLC is a flagrant
violation for international laws and conventions, which state on the
parliamentary immunity for all elected PLC members.
Hamdan
also said that UFree network continues to undertake its role in
introducing the case of Palestinian prisoners to the whole world and to
call upon implementing EU latest recommendations that in releasing the
20 detained PLC members in Israeli jails.
It
is worth mentioning that Dr. Dowik suffers from many diseases and he
was arrested several times. In addition to that, in the beginning of
1990s, he was exiled outside Palestine and was detained in 2006 with
more than 54 PLC members in from the 10th Palestinian government.
Israeli
occupation forces are still targeting PLC members in the West Bank,
where it lately arrested Ahmed Mobarak from Ramallah and sat another
member, Hassan Yusuf, for interrogation at Al Maskobia jail.
