The Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas: We affirm that the arrest campaign carried out by the Palestinian Authority security forces in several West Bank governorates, targeting released prisoners, activists, and ordinary citizens, constitutes a violation of public freedoms and Palestinian human rights. We reject the revolving-door policy employed by the security services against released prisoners, as it exacerbates their suffering and that of their families after years spent in prison defending their people and their right to freedom. We emphasize that the duty, in light of the escalating aggression and attacks by settlers in the West Bank and the continued bombardment and killing in the Gaza Strip, is to stand with our people and pressure Israel to stop its crimes, not to persecute and arrest our people. We call for the immediate release of all political prisoners and an end to arrests and raids. We also call upon human rights organizations to condemn these violations and to take action and exert pressure to end them and secure the release of the detainees.
