Islamic Bloc demands release of students from PA jails

The Islamic Bloc at Annajah University in Nablus has called on the administration of their university to immediately move to have students detained by the Palestinian Authority (PA) security released from West Bank jails.

“We see the silence of the university administration on the kidnapping of students because of their involvement in legal unionist activities as unacceptable and unjustified,” the Islamic Bloc, the student wing of Hamas, stated in a press release on Sunday.

The Bloc stressed the need for immediate intervention by the university administration to have all its member students released from PA jails, especially in order to ensure the integrity and transparency of the coming student elections.

The Bloc also appealed to Palestinian premier and interior minister Rami al-Hamdallah to issue an order ending the injustice against its students.

15 students from the Islamic Bloc at Annajah university are being detained by the PA security apparatuses in the West Bank.
