<p style="font-size:10pt;">NABLUS, (PIC)&#8211; Hamas lawmakers Hasan  Al-Borini and Yasser Mansour from Nablus city participated in the sit-in  staged in Fara refugee camp by employees working for the UNRWA in  protest at the retrenchment policy pursued by the agency against its  junior staff.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The lawmakers expressed their solidarity  with the employees and condemned the UNRWA for doing further injustice  to its employees and deducting from their poor salaries for the days  they were staging their sit-in.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">They also listened to the complaints of  those employees and promised to stand by them until they get their  financial rights fully.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">In another context, lawmaker Mona Mansour  stated Monday that the elections of the student council at Al-Najah  university are far away from democracy in light of the policy  of repression and the police atmosphere that prevail in the West Bank.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Mansour stressed that that any election  needs a healthy ground for holding it in order to ensure all votes are  free and made without pressures or any kind of harassment.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">She also questioned the possibility of  holding fair election while Fatah-affiliated security apparatuses hunt  and arrest students of the Islamic bloc.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The lawmaker added that what is happening  at Al-Najah university is aimed at making the election results in  accordance with the standards of global democracy which repudiated the  results of the Palestinian legislative elections in 2006.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The lawmaker appealed to Al-Najah  university to urgently intervene to stop the arrest campaign waged by  the PA security militias against its students and have dozens of them  released from West Bank jails.</p>
