| 2008-06-01 |
| Ma'an – A member of Fatah's Al-Aqsa who has been held in jail for five months has appealed to Palestinian officials to secure his release. 35 year-old Fatah leader Jaafar As-Samhan called on the Coordinating Committee factions in Nablus and all Palestinian officials to intervene to find a solution to the problem Palestinian prisoners who Israel describe as 'wanted'. As-Samhan told Ma'an's Nablus correspondent that he entered the Al-Junied prison under an agreement between the Palestinian Authority and the Israeli side. He was supposed to serve three months but five months later he still has not been released. He says he has met all the conditions that were imposed by both the Palestinian and Israeli sides but still he remains in prison. 25 members of the Al-Aqsa Brigades men are being held in Al-Juneid prison, west of Nablus, awaiting a decision from Israel as to whether they have been pardoned and removed from Israel's 'wanted' list. |
