Palestinian anti-occupation icon Sheikh Raed Saleh has not shown up yet despite a pledge by the Israeli occupation authorities to release him on Tuesday after having served nine months in jail.
Speaking with PIC Salah’s lawyer Khaled Zabarqa said the Israeli prison authorities vowed to release Sheikh Salah at 6 a.m. on Tuesday. However two hours have passed by and the activist has not shown up yet.
The lawyer added that Salah’s location and fate have been shrouded in mystery.
Zabarqa warned of the simmering tension that has flared up among Salah’s backers and relatives who expressed concerns over his fate.
Sheikh Salah is expected to be released from the Israeli Nafha jail on Tuesday after he had served a nine-month sentence for his conviction for alleged incitement to violence following a sermon delivered in East Jerusalem in 2007.
