| Palestinian cabinet nixes court decision to release Saadat |
| 2002-06-04 |
| The Palestinian cabinet announced last night it would not approve the Palestinian High Court of Justice's decision yesterday to release Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine leader Ahmed Saadat from prison in Jericho, where he has been held for the last month. The Palestinian cabinet's announcement expressed "respect for the High Court of Justice's decision" but said its ruling to release Saadat "cannot be implemented under these circumstances because of Israeli threats." "We respect your decision, but your judgment leaves a lot to be desired. Do you idiots want to see the entire West Bank paved?" |
