Sheikh Salah banned from entering Al Quds

Zionist occupation issued on Monday an order banning Sheikh Raed Salah, leader of Islamic movement, from entering Al Quds for six months.

Salah was summoned to the police station in Wadi Ara where he was handed the order. He was presented with a similar order limiting his freedom of movement three weeks prior, which expired on Monday. The new order was attached with a colored map designating the areas off-limits for the sheikh.

“We will reserve the permanent and perpetual right to enter the city of Al Quds at any moment, without permission from anyone. At the same time, the evidence gathered confirms that 2010 will be a year of a fateful decision on the present and future of occupied Al Quds and the Al-Aqsa Mosque, especially if we connect these orders with the occupation’s false attacks, aimed at Judaizing Al Quds and their plans to destruct Al Aqsa Mosque,” Salah said in a statement.

Zahi Njedat, a lawyer representing the Islamic Movement, said the decision to ban the sheikh from entering Al Quds was unjustified. “Zionist decision is invalid because the Zionist occupation’s presence in Al Quds is invalid, and what is based on falsehood is false.”

“Hence, we say to you, that Sheikh Raed Salah retains his right to enter the city of Al Quds when he deems it … and know that your military orders and sham courts will not deter us and will not prevent us from communicating with Al Quds and the Al-Aqsa Mosque or our people.”
