RAMALLAH (PIC)– The Israeli occupation authority (IOA) has imposed strict security measures on freed Palestinian prisoners and threatened to arrest them anew in the event they did not obey those orders.
Hebrew daily Yediot Ahronot said on Wednesday quoted Israeli security sources as saying that almost half of the released prisoners in the West Bank signed pledges before their release.
These pledges compelled some of them to remain in their hometowns for years while others were forced to appear before the army’s coordination and liaison directorates at least once monthly the sources added.
They said that if the freed prisoners did not comply they would be arrested and returned to serve their sentences in full even if they were life sentences.
Meanwhile the Tadamun foundation for human rights said that the IOA blocked the wife of a liberated prisoner from leaving to Jordan to meet her husband who was among those banished to Qatar.
It said that the wife of Abdul Hakim Hanini from Beit Dajan village to the east of Nablus was not allowed to cross into Jordan while her husband’s parents and her three children were allowed to cross.
