Tootah And Abu Arafe Start Strike

Tootah And Abu Arafe Start Strike
Saturday 21 April 2012

Ahrar-Wledna

People Representative, Mohammad Tootah, and ex-Minister, Khalid Abu Arafe, start food strike, at the jail of Jalboo, sympathizing with other strikers and calling for ending their administrative arrest.

Lawyers of these two Jerusalem citizens said that a hearing at an Israeli court was supposed to be held last Thursday, but it was postponed, as a step for prolonging the arrest administratively, or deporting them from their city. Anyhow, any decision of either is a violation of human and prisoner rights.

Ex-Minister of Jerusalem City Affairs, Khalid Abu Arafe, and People Representatives; Ahmad Attoon, and Mohammad Tootah were kidnapped by the occupation army from their sit-in tent, in the headquarter of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in the occupied east city of Jerusalem.

The Israeli occupation authorities had kidnapped another Jerusalem Peoples Representative; Mohammad Abu Taier, deported him to Ramallah and kidnapped him again, to turn him to the administrative arrest, after spending 30 years in occupation jails.
