PPS Jerusalem director offered conditional release

Tuesday 11-October-2016

The Israeli Magistrate court decided Tuesday to release the director for the Jerusalem chapter of the Palestinian Prisoners Society (PPS) Nasser Qawas after imposing on him a fine of 500 shekels.

He was also prevented from entering al-Aqsa Mosque for 45 days.

Qawas was detained by Israeli forces in occupied Jerusalem Sunday and taken to an interrogation center after being brutally attacked.

Qawas 45 has been detained tens of times by Israeli forces according to PPS most recently in June when he was assaulted and taken in for interrogation.

Qawas was among 39 Palestinians who were detained in extensive raids across Jerusalem while a total of 51 Palestinians were detained across occupied West Bank between Sunday night and Monday.
