The Israeli Magistrate Court in the northern city of Haifa extended the detention of Sheikh Raed Salah the head of the Islamic Movement in 1948 Occupied Palestine until September 06 Salah’s lawyer Khaled Zabarqa said.
Sheikh Salah has been held in a bathroom-lie cell where he is forced to live sleep and even pray inside. Two cameras were set up in order to monitor him Zabarqa told the PIC.
Describing the issue as politicized Zabarqa asserted that the indictment brought against Salah violated his fundamental rights as a religious leader and prominent political figure.
Israeli police arrested Sheikh Salah on August 15 from his home in the northern city of Umm al-Fahm accusing him of “membership in an illegal group” and “inciting violence”.
