Event #5064 Israeli soldiers kidnap two Palestinian parliamentarians Date : Monday, 23 Jan 2012
MEMO
reports :
Israeli forces
arrested two more elected Palestinians parliamentarians earlier today (Monday) after breaking into
the compound of the International Red Cross where the two men had been taking refuge. Jerusalem MP
Muhammad Totah and the former Minister for East Jerusalem, Khaled Abu Arafeh,were arrested when
around 30 officers from the Israeli occupation forces entered the compound accompanied by what is
believed to be American FBI personnel. The Israelis confiscated the MPs' computers, papers and
personal belongings.
This latest arrest of elected Palestinian political figures is part of a series of attacks
intended to stifle the Palestinian leadership, especially those from the Islamic Movement. Ali Abu
Sheikha, a consultant for the Islamic Movement inside Israel, who is based in East Jerusalem, has
been prevented from entering the city for a year. This is regarded as another way in which the
Israeli authorities are able to continue their land grabs, house demolitions and building of
settlements unhindered by resistance from Palestinian politicians.
Together with Ahmad Attoun, who was kidnapped last year, the Jerusalemite politicians sought refuge
in the International Red Cross compound almost 18 months ago.
