European Socialists condemn arrest of Palestinian leaders by Israel
Palestine-Israel-European Union, Politics, 7/13/2006

Europe's Socialists are calling for the immediate release by Israel of Doctor Hassan Khrreishe, vice-president of the policy committee of the Euro-Mediterranean Parliamentary Assembly.

His arrest by the Israeli Army "marks a flagrant breach of international law as well as an act of provocation towards the European Union," said the Socialist group in the European Parliament in a statement.

Members of the Socialist Group in the European Parliament have expressed their profound anger and unreservedly condemned this fresh series of unjustifiable arrests of Palestinian leaders by the Israeli Army and, at the same time, have urged the Israeli Government to release them unconditionally, it said.

The arrest by the Israeli Army of democratically elected members of the Palestinian Authority is 'unjustifiable and illegal.' "Such arrests merely serve to fuel tension in the region, with severe repercussions for peace and democracy,'' noted the statement.

Europe's Socialists also called on to Israel to release without delay the five members of the Belgian association Artistes Contre le Mur (Artists against the wall), which is known and supported for its pacifist actions aimed at safeguarding culture in Palestine.
