The Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) re-arrested Sunday evening the journalist Mohamed al-Qeeq few months after his release following his three-month hunger strike.
Al-Qeeq’s arrest came shortly after his participation at a protest sit-in demanding the return of slain Palestinians’ bodies.
Al-Qeeq’s wife told the PIC reporter that her husband was arrested at Beit El checkpoint north of Ramallah.
“The Israeli forces detained all those who participated in the sit-in for nearly an hour before releasing them except Mohamed” she clarified.
Al-Qeeq was taken handcuffed in an Israeli army jeep to unknown detention center.
Al-Qeeq who worked for a Saudi media outlet was released from Israeli jails in May 2015 after he ended 94 days of hunger strike.
The 33-year old journalist was arrested on November 21 2015. Four days later al-Qeeq conducted the hunger strike in protest against the conditions of his detention. He wanted the Israeli military to either charge or release him from the military detention center where he was being held.
