JERUSALEM, October 26, 2011 (WAFA) – Israeli forces Tuesday night detained Samer al-Issawi, a released Palestinian prisoner in the latest swap, according to a WAFA correspondent.
Israeli soldiers arrested al-Issawi at a checkpoint near Issawiya, an Arab neighborhood in East Jerusalem, and detained him for 13 hours in al-Muskubiya, the Russian detention compound in West Jerusalem.
He was released earlier this morning.
Al-Issawi’s family condemned the detention and called on human rights organizations and the Red Cross to immediately intervene to prevent future detentions.
Al-Issawi was released in the recent prisoners exchange deal between Israel and Hamas that released Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit in exchange for the release of 1027 Palestinian prisoners last Tuesday.WAFA
