The head of the Commission of Detainees' Affairs,  Qaddura Fares, condemned the the sentence issued by the Israeli court against the activist Aya Khatib, 33, from the lands occupied in 1948, who is detained since March 2020.

 

Fares stated that sentencing Aya to 4 years of imprisonment reflects the vulnerability of the occupation and its judiciary system,  subordinate to the Israeli military devices, which lacks humanitarian and ethical principles in dealing with the Palestinian people,  especially detainees. 

 

Fares also confirmed that arresting a Palestinian woman and filing an indictment of "providing information that affect the security of Israel, contacting a foreign agent and raising funds to support terrorism" , exposes the fascist extremism of Israel, which insists on dividing the Palestinian people by all means. 

 

Fares pointed out that these deterrent sentences won't stop the Palestinian woman from participating in resisting the occupation, and he paid tribute to Aya Khatib and her companions at Damoun prison, who proved their steadfastness and challenge. 

 

Fares expressed the real endeavors to intensify efforts with all organisations and factions to expose the Israeli violations against them.
