Abu Zuhri: Trial of Hamas cadres harms reconciliation

[ 29/06/2011 – 07:23 PM ]

GAZA, (PIC)– Hamas spokesman Dr. Sami Abu Zuhri condemned the trial of five of his movement’s cadres in the West Bank on Tuesday, describing the act as harmful to reconciliation efforts.

He said in a terse statement on Wednesday that the sentences were “politicized” and related to the security coordination with Israeli occupation authorities, pointing to the fact that one of them, Nabil Al-Natshe, was still held in Israeli jails.

Fatah faction, controlling the West Bank, would be responsible for impeding the reconciliation because of such practices, Abu Zuhri underlined.

For its part, the committee of relatives of political detainees in PA jails described the sentences in a press release on Wednesday as “oppressive”.

The statement said that the trials were in violation of the simplest articles of the reconciliation agreement.

The Fatah-controlled security apparatuses on Wednesday detained yet another two Hamas cadres from their homes in Dhaheria village in Al-Khalil after their repeated refusal to appear for interrogation.
