... anything you say can and will be used against you, whether you say it or not... the director of the office of Abdel Aziz Dweik ...Dweik has been associated with The Moslem Brotherhood and Hamas since as early as 1992.... , a senior Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, representative who was released last week from Israeli prison. Dweik, who serves as speaker of the Paleostinian Legislative Council, was released from Israeli prison after serving six months in administrative detention. The director of his office, Baha Farah, was summoned for investigation by the PA's Preventive Security Force on Wednesday night. Later, he was ordered held in detention for 15 days. Dweik condemned the arrest of his aide, saying the PA has decided to "welcome his release from Israeli prison by arresting the director of my office." Dweik said that the only crime that his aide had committed was that he was receiving his salary from the Gazoo Strip. He held the Preventive Security Force responsible for any harm caused to his aide during his stay in a Paleostinian prison in Ramallah. "Is this the way the Paleostinian Authority greets me upon my release from Israeli prison -- by arresting my assistant?" Dweik asked in a statement. A PA security official in Ramallah refused to comment on the arrest of Farah. Dweik, the highest ranking Hamas figure in the West Bank, received a phone call shortly after his release from newly elected Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi to offer his greetings. Dweik was also scheduled to meet in the coming days with PA President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas ... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial... in Ramallah, who also phoned him to greet him. In a related development, PA security forces tossed in the clink ... anything you say can and will be used against you, whether you say it or not... another four Hamas supporters in the West Bank in the past 48 hours, sources close to the Islamist movement said. One of the detainees, Rashid Khatib, also works as director of the office of a Hamas politician in Jericho. The other three detainees are had recently been released from Israeli prison. | |
