The Shin Bet Israel’s internal intelligence released Sheikh Kamal al-Khatib deputy head of the outlawed Islamic Movement in the 1948 occupied lands after interrogating him for several hours last Thursday night about his position on the Aqsa Mosque.
According to his lawyer Sheikh Khatib refused to sign a pledge accusing him of making remarks that incite violence on social media.
Sheikh Khatib also did not yield to the officer’s threat to keep him in detention and bring him to trial tomorrow and insisted on not signing any paper.
Three hours later the officer decided to let the Sheikh go unconditionally following legal intervention.
After he left the police station Sheikh Khatib said that a Shin Bet officer questioned him about social media remarks he made a few days ago about his condemnation of the recent Israeli measures at the Aqsa Mosque in Occupied Jerusalem.
