Zionist-backed West Bank security services still detain 35 political prisoners

The committee of political prisoners’ families in the West Bank called on all the parties to pressure on the PA to immediately release all the political prisoners from the security apparatuses’ jails in the West Bank.

The committee of the political prisoners’ families confirmed that the security services in the West Bank are still detaining more than 35 political prisoners in its different jails in the West Bank, 10 of whom have been held since before 2011.

The Committee pointed out that it has documented over the past few days a number of summonses and political arrests in the different governorates of the West Bank, despite the prevailing positive atmosphere.

The Committee also confirmed that one of the political prisoners, Islam Arouri from the town of Aroura, has launched a new hunger strike, few days ago, in protest at breaking the promises to release him by the authority’s apparatuses.

It asserted that any future reconciliation would not be honest and serious if the people are not allowed to enjoy real freedoms on the ground, and demanded the closure of the file of political detention and the immediate release of all the detainees.
