Two Hamas legislators call for prosecuting Abbas after his term ends


"Hama legislators of the Change and Reform Bloc, Dr. Salim Salama, called for detaining president Mahmoud Abbas after his term in office ends on January 8, 2009. Legislator Ismail Al Ashqar of Hamas said that after January 9, Abbas will be regarded as an ordinary citizen and should be “prosecuted for his coup against the Palestinian legitimacy”, the Palestine News (psnews.ps) reported.

Legislator Salama said during a parallel PLC session in Gaza and in Ramallah that the basic Palestinian law does not allow renewing Abbas’ term in office.

Meanwhile, Al Ashqar stated that starting on January 9, Abbas should be considered ordinary resident and should be prosecuted in a court of law for what he described as the “coup against legitimacy and attacks against the residents”, the psnews added.

Al Ashqar accused Abbas of cutting the salaries of government employees and of collaborating with the occupation through “fruitless negotiations with Israel”."

COMMENT: It is much more than that! He should be tried for treason, giving aid and comfort to the enemy, targeting and killing resistance fighters, direct coordination with and working for the IOF, conspiring with the CIA to overthrow the elected Palestinian government, arbitrary arrests, torture and murder of political prisoners, shutting down the press and freedom of expression, establishing the basis for a police state, without the state, holding secret "negotiations" with the enemy to sell out Palestinian rights, advocating Israel as a "Jewish homeland," besieging and starving 1.5 million Palestinians, and much, much more!

Try the bastard and convict him; don't wait another day!
