Nafha prison authority cancels relatives' visits
| [ 23/01/2011 - 07:19 PM ] |
 |
| NABLUS, (PIC)-- The Israeli administration of the Nafha desert prison told the Red Cross on Sunday that it would not allow visits by relatives of detainees until further notice. Miyasar Atiyani, an activist in prisoners' affairs, said in a press release that the ban was a penal measure against the prisoners for waging a hunger strike for two days. She added that 360 prisoners from the Gaza Strip in Nafha have been deprived of family visits for four years along with 120 others from the West Bank. In another development related to the Palestinian prisoners, Ra'fat Hamdona, the director of the prisoners' center for studies, said in a statement on Saturday that the Israeli higher court's decision about the secret prison 1391 legitimized violations inside it. The court ruled against uncovering the secrets of that jail. He urged the world community to protect the Palestinian prisoners from the escalating Israeli violations. |
Prison affairs minister: Alliot-Marie's visit to Shalit's family proves bias
| [ 23/01/2011 - 10:50 AM ] |
 |
| GAZA, (PIC)-- Gaza minister of prisoner affairs Mohammed Faraj al-Ghaul said visits by French Foreign Minister Michele Alliot-Marie to Shalit's family proved her bias to Israel. "I expected the minister to visit the relatives of seven thousand captives in Israeli jails, but her exclusive visit to Shalit's home is clear evidence of her solidarity with Israel," Ghaul said at a sit in staged Saturday by the Islamic Jihad Movement to show solidarity with Palestinians held in Israeli prisons. He also said that Shalit was captured in the battlefield and was part of an army committing daily war crimes against the people in Gaza while Palestinian captives in occupation jails are kidnapped from their homes and the midst of their families, which is a real war crime. Shalit, a dual citizen of France and Israel, was captured by Gaza resistance forces in 2006. Alliot-Marie got a hostile reception from Palestinians upon her arrival to Gaza on Friday. Media outlets had misquoted the FM as saying Hamas's five-year capture of Shalit is a war crime after a visit she made to Shalit's family. She did say that he should be allowed visits from the Red Cross. Israel is sole beneficiary Speaking at the sit in, senior Islamic Jihad official Nafidh Ezam condemned the PA's torture of resistance movement leader Khadir Adnan. "Why do you arrest and persecute the symbol of resistance in the West Bank Khadir Adnan?" he said. "What goes on in the West Bank does not serve our people and our resistance against the occupation. The sole beneficiary of these assaults is Israel, which is trying to eat and steal." |

Palestinians present testimonies in Morocco
By Muhammad Al-Lahham
RABAT, Morocco (Ma'an) -- Palestinians presented testimonies on Saturday to rights organizations, politicians and lawyers at a conference in Morocco to support political prisoners held in Israeli jails.
The 3-day event, staged in Rabat, was an important opportunity to for supporters of Palestinian detainees to reach an international audience, Palestinian Authority Prisoners' Affairs Minister Issa Qaraqe said.
Qaraqe said he hoped to form an international coalition of legal experts and media workers to make public Israel's violations of human rights.
Regarding delegations present at the forum, Qaraqe said Arab participation was good but he wished it were better.
The interaction of the Arab League and the United Nations was positive, he said.
The issue of Palestinian political prisoners was the most urgent humanitarian concern in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the minister said.
He continued that Palestinian prisoners in Israel were searching for protection from a country which failed to respect international conventions, including those it has ratified.
Ex-detainee and Gaza resident Nedal As-Sarfiti attended the conference. Israeli forces destroyed his home and killed two of his children, and one of his remaining children is in prison in Israel.
"I am happy with this concern and the excellent conference, which is full of sympathy and support for our children," he said.
He said he hoped there would be further similar events to convey the humanitarian urgency of the Palestinian issue, and to keep the morale of prisoners high.
Moroccan activist Khadijah Barakat, a member of the Moroccan society to support Palestinians, said the conference was a "historic event and a step to freedom."
Barakat said she was particularly struck by the strong testimonies presented by ex-detainees on the circumstances of their arrests, the effect on their families, and their stories of friends who died in Israeli jails.
She called on Arab organizations to form committees to lobby and advocate for the political prisoners who she said were paying a heavy price for their belief in justice.
Palestinian People's Party official Walid Al-Awad said Palestinian factions were working hard to draw attention to the plight of prisoners detained in Israel, and to remind the international community that Palestinian prisoners were victims of Israel's inhumane policies.

Hamas slams Alliot-Marie for ignoring suffering of Palestinians in Israeli jails
| [ 22/01/2011 - 08:17 AM ] |
 |
| DAMASCUS, (PIC)-- The Hamas Movement strongly denounced French foreign minister Michele Alliot-Marie for describing, during a visit to the occupied Palestinian territories, the capture of Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit as a war crime and ignoring the suffering of thousands of Palestinians who were kidnapped from their homes. In a press release on Friday, Hamas stated that Shalit was taken prisoner as he was aboard an Israeli tank besieging and pointing its gun at Gaza people. Hamas underscored that Alliot-Marie's remarks were a diplomatic discourtesy from her side and reflected her blatant bias in favor of the Israeli occupation. It added that the French minister affronted the Palestinian people and their prisoners in Israeli jails when it made such irresponsible remarks, and demanded the French government to apologize to the Palestinian people. For its part, the Palestinian resistance committees said that Alliot-Marie's claims that the Palestinian resistance committed a war crime when it captured an Israeli soldier proved France's full support for the policies of the Israeli occupation in the region. Spokesman for the committees Mohamed Al-Barim stated that Alliot-Marie knows well that Shalit was aboard an Israeli tank used to kill Palestinians east of Rafah area when he was captured by resistance fighters, stressing that the resistance has the right to take every Israeli assaulting the Palestinian people prisoner. Spokesman Barim emphasized that the perpetrators of war crimes are the people who are occupying the Palestinian land, and committing massacres and ethnic cleansing against the Palestinians. The spokesman demanded France, which intervened more than once to have Shalit released, to desist from statements showing loyalty to the Zionist project in the region and doing no justice to the Palestinian people who struggle for their freedom. In a related incident, spokesman for Wa'ed society for detainees Abdullah Qandil told the Palestinian information center (PIC) that the families of Gazan prisoners in Israeli jails set up a sit-in tent near Beit Hanoun crossing, north of Gaza, in protest at the remarks made by Alliot-Marie who ignored the suffering of about 7,000 Palestinians detained in Israel's jails. Spokesman Qandil added that some of the families under the insistence of Alliot-Marie on not meeting them to listen to their suffering got irritated and expressed their anger at her through intercepting her motorcade. |
Rights groups condemn Israel's refusal to close top secret prison
| [ 22/01/2011 - 08:01 AM ] |
 |
| GAZA, (PIC)-- Rights groups are condemning an Israeli Supreme Court decision refusing to shut down Israel's most top secret investigation center. Those organizations are the Mandela prisoner care foundation, the Palestinian Prisoner Committee in the West Bank, the Prisoner Friend Society, and Nazareth Prisoner Affairs Follow-up Committee and the Siddiq Yousef prisoner care foundation in Umm Al-Fahm. Two petitions were filed against the 1391 detention center, which resides on a secret military base and is directly affiliated with the Israeli intelligence. According to the prisoner rights groups, Israel has refused to admit the center exists. It is not subject to regulations by the Red Cross or other global organizations. The Israeli daily Haaretz first shed light on the center in 2003 after the Israeli army took several Palestinian and Lebanese prisoners without anyone knowing about their existence or the existence of the center. Haaretz quoted petitioners as saying the court agreed to place restrictions on the period of detention allowed in the center, provide specific information on its location to the detainees themselves, and to use it exclusively on orders of senior leadership. |
57 detention extensions against Palestinian detainees since mid-January
| [ 21/01/2011 - 07:30 PM ] |
 |
| WEST BANK, (PIC)-- Zionist courts have ruled to extend the detention of Palestinians until end of procedures (open-ended) on 57 occasions since mid-January. The Ofer court ruled to extend the detention of 18 Palestinians, the Askalan court made six such extentions, the Salem court made 12 extensions, while the Maskoubeyyah and Jalama courts made 10 extensions each. These extensions will give the Israeli intelligence unlimited time to keep these 76 Palestinian detainees in prisons and interrogation centres to try and get confessions out of them, usually under torture. |
Zahhar: Shalit case sensitive for politics, people
The French minister was met with signs telling her to "get out of Gaza," her car was egged and shoes were thrown over a statement which was mistakenly attributed to the official at a meeting with the parents of an Israeli soldier captured by Gaza factions.
The father of the soldier asked Minister Michele Alliot-Marie to press the European Union to "condemn as a war crime" the detention of his son, but Israel's public radio posted a story on its Arabic-language website mistakenly quoting Alliot-Marie as saying the European Union "must condemn the war crime that Hamas is committing by keeping Gilad Shalit in captivity."
Speaking to a Libyan delegation that arrived in Gaza on Friday, Zahhar commented on the incident, saying it showed the sensitivity of the issue, and the need for continued secrecy over the whereabouts of the soldier.
In exchange for the release of the soldier, factions are asking for the release of 1,000 Palestinians from Israeli jails. While negotiations between the factions and Israel continued for some time under the mediation efforts of a German official, they fell through when Israel refused to release dozens of the 450 named detainees, with the other 550 at Israel's discretion.
Israel offered to exile some of the men on the list, an idea refused by the negotiating factions.
For tens of thousands of Palestinians, an exchange deal for the captured soldier is the only hope of seeing their imprisoned loved ones.
Addressing the issue Zahhar said the factions detaining Shalit are "dealing with the case completely secretly" out of necessity.
One of the reasons behind Israel's last offensive on Gaza was given as the retrieval of the captured soldier.
"The occupation's theory of quickly terminating the battle has failed," Zahhar said, and accused Israel of threatening to wage a new war on Gaza in a second attempt to find the soldier.
Zahhar said the resistance in Gaza was prepared for all eventualities, dismissing what he said were rumors that Israel could use nuclear weapons against the coastal enclave.
"Israel can’t attack us with nuclear weapon because that weapon does not differentiate between Green or Yellow lines," the official said.
The Gaza Strip, he said, had "become the front line encountering the occupation," and that not only would resistance brigades continue to defend the area, but the factions holding Shalit would continue to keep him in order to secure the release of what he called thousands of Palestinian prisoners of war that Israel has detained.
Zahhar said the events of Friday showed how sensitive the case of Shalit was, how important to the Palestinian people and how fresh in their minds were their loved ones in Israeli prisons.

Zahhar: We run the file of Shalit in total secrecy |
| [ 22/01/2011 - 02:16 PM ] |
 |
| GAZA, (PIC)-- Member of Hamas's political bureau Mahmoud Al-Zahhar said that the Palestinian parties in Gaza manage the file of Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit in total secrecy, noting that Israel tries every once in a while to bring up this issue through its sources and media outlets. Zahhar, during his meeting with members of the Libyan aid convoy Al-Quds 5 on Friday, added that the issue of the Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails is very delicate and any word that comes out of the media has resonance and a very big impact, especially on the families of detainees. As for the popular rage against the French foreign minister, the Hamas official stated that the remarks made about Shalit by Michele Alliot-Marie reflected the hypocrisy of the European policy. In this regard, the Libyan aid convoy Al-Quds 5 arrived on Friday in Gaza. The convoy was composed of 17 Libyan members, two ambulances and truckloads of medical supplies and medicines. Head of the convoy Nouri Ashahawi said that a national Libyan committee was formed to continue the humanitarian support for Gaza people, affirming that a number of land convoys and ships will be heading soon to the Strip. |
Prisoners of Israel hunger strike over solitary
The committee said it called the strike to protest the solitary confinement of Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine secretary-general Ahmad Sa'adat and Hamas lawmaker Jamal Abu Al-Haya.
Supporters say the men have been frequently placed in solitary confinement for long durations throughout their terms in prison.
The political leaders suffered deteriorating health and Israel's prison authorities refused them treatment, the committee said.
Further, the strike was called to protest regular night raids on cells and confiscation of detainees' property. Prison guards also frequently seized family members' visiting permits on their arrival to the prison, the committee added.
Israeli authorities also prevented prisoners from enrolling at universities, and canceled the enrollment of those already studying.
In addition, the committee said prisoners were denied hot water or mattresses in order to force detainees to pay for them at their own expense.

Nafha prisoners start two-day hunger strike |
| [ 22/01/2011 - 07:29 AM ] |
 |
| GAZA, (PIC)-- The ministry of prisoners in Gaza Strip said that the Palestinian prisoners in the Israeli Nafha jail have gone on hunger strike on Friday to protest their cruel incarceration conditions. The ministry's spokesman Riyadh Al-Ashqar said in a press release that prisoners in all wards in that jail had joined the strike that would continue on Saturday. He said that the prisoners are protesting the continued solitary confinement of internees and constant rough search of their rooms. Ashqar noted that the prisoners presented a list of their demands to the prison's administration including ending the isolation of Hamas leader Jamal Abulhaija and PFLP leader Ahmed Saadat in addition to stopping to the daily violent storming of their rooms that include beating prisoners and spraying them with gas in addition to breaking their belongings and confiscating some of them. They demand reducing the four daily searches of their rooms that take 40 minutes each time during which they are crammed in small areas, he said, adding that the prisoners also ask for allowing all prisoners to get out of their cells for the daily stroll at one time to see each other. He pointed out that the administration only allows groups of 60 prisoners to get out of their cells in order to block meeting of all prisoners. |

French FM mobbed in Gaza over misquoted Shalit comments
GAZA CITY (Ma'an/AFP) -- Families of prisoners gathered in protest on Friday, throwing shoes and eggs at the car of French Foreign Minister Michele Alliot-Marie as she arrived in Gaza via the Erez crossing in the north.
Carrying signs reading "Get out of Gaza" they stopped her car shortly after it passed through a Hamas checkpoint in the northern town of Beit Hanoun, surrounding it and hammering on the sides with their fists.
The protest was over a statement which was mistakenly attributed to the French minister when she met with the parents of captive Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit in Jerusalem a day earlier.
At the meeting, father Noam Shalit asked Alliot-Marie to press the European Union to "condemn as a war crime" the detention of his son, an AFP correspondent at the scene said.
However, shortly afterward, Israel's public radio posted a story on its Arabic-language website mistakenly quoting Alliot-Marie as saying the European Union "must condemn the war crime that Hamas is committing by keeping Gilad Shalit in captivity."
As the demonstrators shoved toward the car, two children, terrified and crying, were flung to the ground floor in front of the wheels of the lead vehicle convoy of white 4x4 jeeps, and stayed there for several minutes before being hauled away by their families.
Nearby, one of the protesters shouted slogans through a loudhailer, angrily denouncing the "war crimes" statement, while another was holding up a large picture of Alliot-Marie with a red cross plastered over her face.
The Arabic service of Israeli public radio and its website are monitored in the Palestinian territories, and the report was quickly picked and republished by other Arabic-language news sites, prompting a sharply-worded response from Gaza's Hamas rulers.
The Israeli soldier was captured in 2006 by militants base in Gaza and has been held by them ever since.
During her visit to Gaza, the French official will visit the French Cultural Center, and has maintained that she will not be meeting with Hamas officials.
Hamas, Gaza resistance riled over misquoted Shalit comments
Word of the mistake had not reached Gaza ahead of the protest, with Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri reiterating the party's stand on the continued holding of the soldier, saying "Shalit was captured in the battle field while he was killing Palestinian citizens on Gaza borders, while there are more than 8 thousand Palestinian prisoners who were arrested by the occupation from their homes without any guilt.”
Speaking for the Popular Resistance Committees in Gaza, Muhammad Al-Brim said the statement which Israel public radio had announced was a "comprehensive encouragement for the Israeli occupation policy.
The PRC issued a statement on the subject, saying "The French Foreign Minister knows very well that Gilad was in a military tank east of Rafah seizing Palestinians and killing them [when he was captured] and we have the total right to defend our nation."
The scolded the minister saying she "seems to have forgotten about all of the Palestinian detainees spending years in Israeli prisons."

Israeli navy kidnaps four Palestinian fishermen at sea
| [ 20/01/2011 - 10:19 AM ] |
 |
GAZA, (PIC)-- The ministry of agriculture in Gaza Strip said that the Israeli navy gunboats kidnapped four Palestinian fishermen off the coast of Khan Younis, south of the Strip, at a late hour on Wednesday night. The ministry's fishery department said in a statement on Thursday that the Israeli navy attacked the fishermen, three of them brothers, aboard a small fishing boat while fishing off the coast and took them along with their boat to an unknown destination. It said that the attacks on fishermen at sea had recently escalated, noting that the Israeli occupation harasses fishermen with the start of every new fishing season. The occupation allows Gaza fishermen to operate only three nautical miles off the coast and even stalks them there, it pointed out. The ministry held the Israeli occupation authority fully responsible for the lives of those fishermen, urging the Red Cross and human rights institutions to immediately intervene to demand the release of the fishermen and their equipment. It said that pressures should be made on the IOA to allow more space for fishermen and expand their fishing area to six nautical miles at least. -------- 4 Palestinian fishermen briefly detained Published today (updated) 20/01/2011 22:48 GAZA CITY (Ma’an) -- Israeli ships ordered a boat of four fishermen to disembark Wednesday and detained the crew upon boarding, Ministry of Agriculture officials in Gaza said. The ministry says three of the detainees are brothers, identified as Ahed, Nidal, and Ahmad Muhammad Abul Kheir. The fourth was identified as Muneer Sa’eed Al-Amoudy. An Israeli military spokeswoman said that naval patrols identified a fishing vessel "deviating from the fishing area" and called on the boat to turn back. When the boat failed to comply, she said it was captured and the crew taken for questioning. All four were released on Thursday morning, she said. |
