Few days ago the Egyptian security forces arrested a group of Palestinians and took them to an unknown area in Al-Arish, without clarifying any reason or justification for the arrest. This incidence happened after the Palestinians opened the crossings, and hundred thousands of Palestinians crossed to the Egyptian site. Some of these went to buy goods, especially gasoline or to have convalescence after the suffocating siege, which was imposed by the Israeli occupation for more than 8 months, on Gaza Strip. The questions now are: have those Palestinians committed a crime that deserves punishment by Egyptian law? Is it possible that one day we are going to stand up for the rights of Palestinian prisoners in Egypt as we are doing so for those who are jailed in Israel?
The story behind that arrest remains a big mystery. No one knows when, how and where the incidents happened.
Concerns and Fears
Razan ,21 years old, wife of one of the Palestinian detainees said " My husband traveled to Arish to buy some goods, I do not know anything about him since he was arrested and where he is now. The only thing I know is that he was detained with a large number of Palestinians who crossed the boarders”. “I am very worried about my husband and I fear that his situation will get worse. I hope he will be treated in a humanitarian way" she added
On another hand Asma , the wife of another detainee, expressed her worries only by tears that filled her red eyes. She has also no idea about what happened to her husband.
Unjustified Act
"a strange act, there is no justification for that arrest, I think it is very wrong and confirms the absence of justice” said Amjad, 24 years old. He then continued “I appeal the Egyptian government’s efforts in helping harmed Gaza citizens, and I urge the government to rapidly release the detainees”
“It is unbelievable that the Palestinians who were facing unjustified arrests in Israel are now suffering from the same thing in Egypt” he added.
