 The Ofer Israeli military court refused on Friday an appeal to release Mohammad Bisharat, head of the Nafha Society for Defending the Detainees Rights and Human Rights.
Bisharat was kidnapped by the army twenty days ago and is currently imprisoned in Huwwara detention facility. So far, the Israeli authorities did not file any charges against him. Bisharat is known for his activities in defending human rights and the rights of detainees imprisoned by Israel, he was kidnapped first after the Al Aqsa Intifada inflamed late 2000. The Nafha society slammed the continued detention of Bisharat and called on human rights groups to practice pressure on Israel to lease him and to stop its ongoing attacks against human rights institutions in the occupied Palestinian territories. There are at least 10.000 detainees imprisoned by Israel in several prisons and detention camps, among them 555 who were arrested before the beginning of the Al Aqsa Intifada including 369 who were arrested before the Oslo agreement was signed between Israel and the Palestinian Liberation Organization. At least 400 children were kidnapped by the army since the beginning of the Al Aqsa Intifada. |
