Khadija Khuwais detained banished from Aqsa for one week

Monday 22-February-2021

The Israeli occupation police on Sunday evening detained Jerusalemite activist Khadija Khuwais during her presence in the Bab al-Asbat area that leads to the Aqsa Mosque.

According to local sources police officers in Bab al-Asbat took Khuwais to a detention center in the Old City where she was handed an order banning her entry to the Aqsa Mosque for one week.

The police also ordered Khuwais to return after a week to receive a renewed Aqsa entry ban order.

Last December Khuwais completed an entry ban order that deprived her of praying at the Aqsa Mosque for 14 months. However she was exposed to detention and interrogation several times at the time when she performed her prayers on the streets of the Old City.

Meanwhile police forces on the same day kidnaped two child brothers during their presence near their home in Hizma town in the northeast of Jerusalem. They were identified as Aws (8 years) and Mohamed (6 years) Najib.
