IOA extends detention of Jihad leader for 9th time

[ 12/01/2011 - 10:26 AM ]


JENIN, (PIC)-- The Israeli occupation authority (IOA) extended the administrative detention of Sheikh Bassam Al-Saadi, an Islamic Jihad leader, for the 9th consecutive time.
Sheikh Saadi had completed a 5-year military imprisonment sentence in 2008, but the Israeli intelligence refused his release enforcing his detention without trial or charge since then.
The Islamic Jihad described the decision as "racist", and falls in line with the IOA policy of isolating national leaderships in a failed attempt to limit their ability to influence the people.
It said that the "enemy's attempts" would never succeed in breaking the will of Sheikh Saadi.
