Palestinian lawyer Muhannad Karrajah has revealed that political detainee Alaa al-Basheer suffers from psychological trauma and severe physical weakness.
“I visited and met with Alaa in the prison and she suffers from depression and trauma because of her exposure to ongoing detention” Karrajah told the Palestinian Information Center (PIC).
Karrajah a lawyer active in defending political detainees said that the detention of Alaa for the second time was a violation of the court verdict that released her adding that the Palestinian Authority (PA) preventive security apparatus accused her once again of receiving funds from illegal societies and stirring up sectarian strife.
The lawyer described the renewed accusations against her as unfounded and illegal.
A PA court recently allowed the preventive security to extend the detention of Alaa for another 15 days according to the lawyer.
The preventive security rearrested Alaa al-Basheer a holy Qur’an teacher from Qalqilya two days after releasing her on June 13. She had spent over one month in her first detention.
