Re-imposing the life sentences on six prisoners who were freed within the “Shalit” deal
The so-called “committee to monitor the violations of prisoners freed within the Shalit deal” decided on Tuesday night to re-impose the life sentences against six Jerusalemite prisoners who were released in 2011. The head of Jerusalemite detainees and prisoners families committee, Amjad Abu Asab, explained that the so-called “releases committee” decided to re-impose the life sentences against Ismaeel Abdullah Mousa Hijazi from Jabal Al-Mukabber, Jamal Hammad Hussein Abu Saleh from Silwan- Dung Gate, Rajab Mohammad Shihadeh Tahan from Ras Al-Amoud, Adnan Mohammad Ata Maragha from Silwan, Ala’ Eddin Ahmad Rida Bazian from the Old City of Jerusalem and Naser Mousa Ahmad Abed Rabbo from Sur Baher; note that they were rearrested last month. Abu Asab pointed out that the prisoners appeared in the District court in Haifa and were presented to a racist committee that discussed the prisoners’ cases individually and discussed the indictments submitted against them. The committee accused them of communicating with Hamas, Islamic Jihad, the Popular and Democratic Front as well as other terrorist organizations and also accused them of planning to carry-out terrorist attacks. In a related matter, the occupation authorities decided on Wednesday night to release the Jerusalemite prisoner Ibrahim Mashal who is one of the prisoners released within the “Shalit” deal; note that he was rearrested after the Hebron operation.
