GAZA (PIC)– Palestinian Prisoners Center spoke against the unwarranted and arbitrary decision issued by an Israeli court to extend the detention of Palestinian female detainee Nawal Saadi 52 from Jenin for four extra months.
According to the Center the verdict which came in such an arbitrary manner and with no legitimate reasons reveals Israel’s sadist and chauvinistic impulses to which neither age nor sex seem to really make a difference.
Riadh Al-Ashkar an expert in prisoners’ affairs said Nawal Saadi was arrested by Israeli Occupation Authorities (IOA) since November 2012 at one of the military checkpoints south of Nablus.
He pointed out that Nawal was sentenced just a few months later to 20 months and a 10-thousand-shekel-fine under charges of having assisted resistance factions.
An Israeli court appealed to Ofer military court to extend Nawal’s detention period which was absurdly enough approved without the least hesitation.
Nawal’s family told PIC correspondent that the decision is quite abusive especially that Nawal a 52-year-old lady has been diagnosed with chronic hypertension.
“IOA is making Nawal pay for her family’s history of human rights activism. Two of her sons were killed and her husband Bassam al-Saadi is among the most prominent Jihad leaders” Saadi’s family further maintained.
As reported by Ashkar the Palestinian female detainee has been permanent target of arrest campaigns frequently launched against Palestinian activists by IOF who quite strangely turned their back to the fact that Nawal is a mother to nine children two of whom died in Jenin refugee camp.
Ashkar called for the immediate release of Nawal due to her critical helath conditions and urgent need of a regular medical check-up.
