NABLUS, (PIC)– Hamas lawmakers Hasan Al-Borini and Yasser Mansour from Nablus city participated in the sit-in staged in Fara refugee camp by employees working for the UNRWA in protest at the retrenchment policy pursued by the agency against its junior staff.

The lawmakers expressed their solidarity with the employees and condemned the UNRWA for doing further injustice to its employees and deducting from their poor salaries for the days they were staging their sit-in.

They also listened to the complaints of those employees and promised to stand by them until they get their financial rights fully.

In another context, lawmaker Mona Mansour stated Monday that the elections of the student council at Al-Najah university are far away from democracy in light of the policy of repression and the police atmosphere that prevail in the West Bank.

Mansour stressed that that any election needs a healthy ground for holding it in order to ensure all votes are free and made without pressures or any kind of harassment.

She also questioned the possibility of holding fair election while Fatah-affiliated security apparatuses hunt and arrest students of the Islamic bloc.

The lawmaker added that what is happening at Al-Najah university is aimed at making the election results in accordance with the standards of global democracy which repudiated the results of the Palestinian legislative elections in 2006.

The lawmaker appealed to Al-Najah university to urgently intervene to stop the arrest campaign waged by the PA security militias against its students and have dozens of them released from West Bank jails.
