Hamas Calls On PA to Stop Arresting Supporters Of Strikers

09/05/2012

GAZA,(PIC)-- The Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas called on West Bank authorities to stop arresting supporters of the Palestinian striking prisoners.

The movement has strongly condemned, in a statement issued by its information office on Wednesday, the PA security services' arrest campaign of supporters of the strikers who are facing the arrogant occupation by their empty stomachs, and rejected any attempt to undermine solidarity activities, that can encourage the occupation to intensify its repressive measures.

The movement had called on the Palestinian people to continue and to activate their solidarity with the prisoners and not pay any attention to the attempts of undermining their will, until achieving the prisoners’ demands.

Meanwhile, Hamas spokesman, Dr. Sami Abu Zuhri, condemned the PA security services' storming of the solidarity tent in Idna village to the west of Al-Khalil and arresting one of the supervisors of the tent on Tuesday evening.

The security services' measures in the West Bank towards the solidarity tents, peace activists, and solidarity activities with the striking prisoners confirms its involvement in undermining the prisoners' hunger strike and in preventing any sort of popular support, Abu Zahri said in a written press release on Wednesday, this reveals the real role of these pro-occupation security services, he added.

Hamas spokesman called on the Palestinian people not to respond to the security services’ pressures in the West Bank and to continue supporting the prisoners' demands until ending their suffering.
