In the southern West Bank city of Hebron dozens of demonstrators also held a rally for Allaan, holding his picture and demanding his immediate release, an AFP reporter said. MKs Tibi and Sa’adi made an urgent request to the attorney-general, asking to release Allaan on humanitarian grounds: “There is no justification to continue the administrative detention of a dying patient in the intensive care unit.” They added that his death would start a domino effect of harsh responses among the Palestinians and all over the world. Among the MKs present were Ahmad Tibi, Hanin Zoabi, Jamal Zahalka, Youssef Jabarin and Osama Sa’adi, all from the Joint Arab List. The protest was led by Sheikh Raed Salah, a radical preacher who heads the Islamic Movement’s northern wing.Īccording to Ynet, some chants like “There’s nothing quite like killing soldiers and cops,” were heard at the protest as Arab-Israeli Knesset members were in attendance. Protesters in support of Allaan on Saturday called for an intifada “in all prisons,” while others advocated kidnapping Israeli soldiers to be used as bargaining chips in future prisoner exchanges.
