The Ad Dameer Society for Human Rights demanded a clear stance from president Mahmoud Abbas regarding political arrests in the West Bank especially since the number of political prisoners from the Hamas movement is on the rise.
The Palestinian security forces in the West Bank continued their political arrests campaign against Hamas members and supporters although president Abbas said that he ordered a halt to such arrests, and ordered the release of all political prisoners who are not involved in criminal offenses.
The Al Dameer stated that the number of political prisoners stands at 780, including women, students and university lecturers.
The institution said that it is questioning weather the security forces are respecting and carrying out the orders of Abbas., and added that it is worried due to the fact the Abbas ordered the release of all political prisoners while his forces are ongoing with their arrest campaigns.
The Ad Dameer slammed all political arrests, and added that the Palestinians are awaiting a positive outcome of the internal dialogue to end the internal divisions and restore political, geographical and political unity.
It also said that political arrests violate the Palestinian law and harm the struggle of the Palestinian people.
