Sunday 21-June-2009

OCCUPIED JERUSALEM (PIC)– The Israeli occupation authority has extended the administrative detention of Sheikh Khaled Al-Haj the Hamas spokesman in Jenin for the fourth consecutive time.

The Sheikh’s family said that Haj 45 was held in administrative custody without trial or charge after he completed his sentence almost one and a half years ago.

Meanwhile the IOA also extended the administrative detention of Hashem Al-Zamuti 44 the director of education in Qabatia and Sheikh Mustafa Abu Ara 50 the Akaba municipality chairman for the fifth time running.

Relatives of the detainee Ismail Abed 30 appealed to legal institutions to intervene and help convince the IOA to let him undergo a surgery in his leg warning that any delay in the surgery would worsen his health condition.

They explained that Abed was hit with bullets when the Israeli occupation forces arrested him seven months ago. He also suffers from stomach ulcer and pain in the back they added.
