nsnbc : The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) demands that Palestinian Authority intelligence agencies and arrests of and attacks against Palestinian students and former prisoners as part of the PA’s “security cooperation” with Israel.
The PFLP issued its demand following the arrest of Kifah Quzmar, a student at Bir Zeit University, on May 12 as he returned from the university; a few years prior, he was attacked along with others by PA security forces and hospitalized while protesting against PA meetings with leaders of the occupation state, and had been summoned for interrogation by PA intelligence.
The PFLP stressed that Palestinian Authority security agencies in the West Bank carry out an ongoing wave of arrests of students and former prisoners as part of the Palestinian Authorities “security cooperation” with Israeli occupation forces.
The PFLP stressed that the Front strongly condemned the PA security forces for arresting Quzmar, a member of the Progressive Democratic Student Pole at the university and demanded his immediate and unconditional release as well as that of all political detainees and prisoners of security coordination in PA jails.
The Front also called for addressing the policy of the attacks on students by PA security services which have escalated in recent weeks amid campus elections. This method of police repression against Palestinian students not only widens Palestinian internal division but also endangers the lives of students and political detainees in light of the actions of the occupation in arresting former PA detainees in the context of shared intelligence and security coordination.
The Fatah-dominated Palestinian Authority has repeatedly announced that it would end its security cooperation with Israel. These announcements have usually come within specific contexts. That is, when domestic opposition against Fatah and the security cooperation with the occupying power has grown too strong for comfort; During negotiations with Israel. Non of these “promises to end the security cooperation with Israel” have ever manifested.
The Palestinian Authority and the governing Fatah have repeatedly and consistently been accused of using the security cooperation between the PA and Israel to crack down on domestic dissent and opposition.
