Information Center director Jawad Siyam under interrogation in Muskubiya

Monday, 21 February, 2011 | 22:01

Silwan, Jerusalem (SILWANIC) — Wadi Hilweh Information Center Jawad Siyam is currently detained in Muskubiya Prison in West Jerusalem and subjected to interrogation. Police have stated that he will not be released tonight. Dozens of activists are protesting outside the compound in opposition to Israeli authorities’ targeting of Palestinian activists in Jerusalem.

Siyam is due to appear in the Jerusalem Magistrates Court tomorrow where his house arrest sentence will either be cancelled or extended. A new fabrication has emerged in their baseless case against Siyam, claiming that he has not complied with the conditions of his house arrest, a claim that Siyam’s friends and family have denounced as untrue. Siyam’s lawyer is currently prevented by police from seeing his client prior to the hearing.

Israeli forces have attempted to disperse protesters outside the prison by means of force, and are photographing those attending the demonstration.
