Detaining martyrs’ bodies will flame the uprising

Husam Badran, the spokesman of Hamas Movement, warned Israeli occupation of detaining the bodies of Palestinian martyrs saying that it will increase the outrage of Palestinians and will flame the uprising.

In a press statement on Saturday, Badran said detaining the bodies of martyrs will not weaken the determination of the Palestinian youths to keep up their heroic anti-occupation attacks and will not prevent Palestinian families from encouraging their sons to defend their land for the sake of freedom and dignity.

Badran called on the Palestinian people to organize events demanding the release of martyrs’ bodies. He also urged the human rights institutions to prosecute Israeli occupation leaders at the international level for committing crimes against Palestinians especially the Israeli policy of collective punishment.

The Israeli occupation is still detaining 18 bodies of Palestinian martyrs, mostly Jerusalemites, who carried out anti-occupation attacks in Occupied Jerusalem and the West Bank.
