Political prisoner Alaa Basheer a holy Qur’an teacher from Jinsafut village in Qalqilya has been on hunger strike for three consecutive days despite her worsening health condition.
According to lawyer Muhanad Karajja a Palestinian Authority (PA) court recently extended the detention of Basheer for 15 days at the pretext of giving time for more security investigation regarding her case.
In this regard the family of Basheer appealed to all local and international human rights groups to necessarily pressure the PA to release her because she did not commit any crime.
The PA preventive security apparatus has fabricated accusations against Basheer in order to justify her detention. She is accused of inciting sectarian strife one of the claims usually used by the PA security agencies against political detainees.
