Hamas official to address UN’s Human Rights Council

Hamas MP Ismail Al-Ashqar arrived in Geneva on Sunday on the second such visit by Hamas lawmakers to Switzerland in two months.

Three Hamas lawmakers arrived in Switzerland two months ago on a ten-day visit during which they met with Swiss officials and MPs.

The change and reform bloc, affiliated with Hamas movement, said in a press release that Ashqar, head of the security committee and deputy head of the bloc, would deliver a speech at the UN human rights council on Monday focusing on the issue of Palestinian MPs detained in Slaughterer Israeli jails. It said that the lawmaker would remain in Switzerland for a few days.
