Jordanians Rally in Front of Zionist Embassy in Solidarity With Palestine
AMMAN (Dispatches) –
Hundreds of Jordanians gathered in front of the Zionist regime’s embassy in Amman in solidarity and support for Palestine and its capital Al-Quds, Anadolu Agency reported.
The National Forum in Support for Resistance organized the gathering under the title of “Al-Quds is the Headline of Liberation”.
The participants, who gathered about 100 meters from the embassy, raised placards in support of the Palestinians and their resistance against the regime’s occupation.
Secretary General of the Islamic Action Front Party Murad Adaileh addressed the participants, expressing: “You are sending a clear message to Israel that it does not have a footstep in Al-Quds. This city is only for Arabs and Muslims.”
Adaileh also sent a message to the Arab leaders meeting in Jeddah: “It is the best time to stop the normalization of ties [with the Zionist regime]. If you could not liberate Palestine, do not oppress it with your normalization… We call for you to support the Palestinian resistance.”
Meanwhile, Zionist occupation troops detained female Palestinian youth Samah Awad, 24, after she was summoned for an interview, the Palestine Prisoners Study Centre has disclosed.
The detention of Awad, from the occupied West Bank city of Qalqilia, raised the number of female Palestinian prisoners inside the occupying regime’s jails to 34.
According to Palestine Prisoners Study Centre, female Palestinian prisoners receive harsh treatment inside the regime’s jails under several pretexts.
Since 1967, the Zionist occupation has detained more than 17,000 female Palestinian prisoners, including 34 still in jails – most under harsh conditions in Damon Prison.
Director of Palestine Prisoners Study Centre, former prisoner Riyad al-Ashqar, confirmed that eight female prisoners were sentenced to more than ten years, including Nofooth Hammad, 16.
Al-Ashqar also indicated that seven female prisoners, including Israa al-Jaabis, Azhar Assaf and Rajaa Karsou, suffer from medical conditions.
In addition, two young female prisoners – Raghad al-Fanni and Rawda Abu Ajamiyeh – are locked under the notorious administrative detention.
Maysoon al-Jabali, who has been in prison since 2015, has been sentenced to 15 years.
Al-Ashqar stated that female Palestinian prisoner Fatema Shahin was wounded in the shoulder and leg when she was detained at al-Jalama Checkpoint, near the illegal settlement of Gush Etzion.
Shahin was incarcerated with criminal prisoners despite her wounds. Following a protest by fellow prisoners, she was moved to the clinic of Ramleh Prison, then to Damon Prison to stay with other female prisoners.
Al-Ashqar accused the Zionist regime of psychologically torturing female prisoners and called for putting pressure on the regime to release them.
