| [Al Ahram] Dozens of Paleostinians held a sit-in on Sunday in central Gazoo to demand the release of their Salafist relatives, held in jug by the territory's Islamist rulers Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason,. Participants in the protest, mainly women and kiddies, carried banners calling for their relatives to be freed. "We demand the release of our sons from jail," a female protester who refused to give her name told AFP. "Why are they arresting them and searching houses and shops?" "They banned us from visiting since they tossed in the clink You have the right to remain silent... my brother, who has been on hunger strike since April 3," she said. "We hold the Hamas government responsible for their arrest." According to Salafist sources, Hamas is holding over 20 members of the hardline Mohammedan movement in jug. The Hamas government has found itself at odds with an array of small jihadist, Salafist groups operating in the Gazoo Strip that have challenged the Islamist movement both over confrontations with Israel and the practice of Islamic rule. |
