| Hamas` PLC bloc: PA forces raid home of member |
| 2010-04-08 |
| [Ma'an] Hamas' parliamentary bloc accused Palestinian Authority security forces of breaking into the home of the movement's lawmaker and detaining a relative in Hebron on Wednesday. A statement released by Hamas said Palestine Legislative Council member Mohammad At-Tal's home was stormed by PA forces who detained his brother, Rami. "Fatah and its parliamentary bloc is responsible for tightening its practices against lawmakers affiliated with the [Hamas] bloc, obstructing their role within the Palestinian Legislative Council," the statement read. The policy, they said, reflected the movement's decision to prohibit PLC speaker Aziz Dweik from holding an emergency session of the body in Ramallah last month, prompting the official to symbolically resign and hand over power to his deputy. Hamas called on the PA to immediately release all political prisoners as a "solidarity" gesture for detainees in Israeli custody, and urged "all Palestinian factions to express their national stance in an honest and clear way." |
