Israeli court enforces previous verdict on elderly ex-detainee

Monday 30-March-2015

JENIN (PIC)– Ahrar Center for Prisoners and Human Rights said the Israeli occupation authority enforced the previous sentence on the 64-year-old prisoner Abdurrahman Hasan Salah who was released within the swap deal Wafa al-Ahrar and rearrested mid of 2014.

The head of the Center Fuad al-Khuffash said the IOA re-imposed the previous sentence which is 25 years of imprisonment against captive Salah from Jenin despite his old age.

He spent nine years out of 25 before he was released in the prisoners swap deal called Wafa al-Ahrar in 2011.

Salah’s family said he is now held at Nafha desert jail. He is suffering from several diseases including diabetes blood pressure backache and foot ache. He lost vision in his left eye and barely can see in the other one the family added.

He is a father to seven children; one of them is a martyr who died in 2003 of the age of 18 the family said.

The sick captive Salah was arrested in 2003 on charges of carrying out bombing operations against the Israeli occupation.

Khufash said Israel rearrested 80 captives of those released in the swap deal and reinforced previous verdicts against 37 prisoners of them so far.

The rest of the eighty captives are threatened of the enforcement of the same previous sentences against them including life imprisonments and long years.

The ones who were rearrested have not conducted any breaches to the deal that could be considered reasonable justification for the IOA to re-arrest them Kuffash charged.
