Palestinian security forces have become a tool for oppression, says PLC spokesman, Dr. Ahmad Bahar


"Gaza – Ma'an – The acting speaker of the Palestinian Legislative Council (PLC), Dr. Ahmad Bahar, a Hamas representative, has on Thursday condemned the attack on Hamas PLC deputy Ahmad Al Haj Ali by Palestinian security services in Nablus.

In a statement received by Ma'an, Bahar said that the security forces have "become a tool for oppression of Palestinians in the West Bank".

Bahar further blamed Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas for the entire situation. He called upon the international community and its lawmakers for intermediate intervention to bring about the release of Hamas members who have been taken prisoner by the Palestinian security forces.

The PLC spokesman concluded, condemning the continuation of Israel's kidnapping of Palestinian law makers, the number of arrested Palestinian parliamentarians has risen to 45."
