<p style="font-size:10pt;">GAZA, (PIC)&#8211; The Gaza-based  international campaign to free detained MPs in Israeli occupation jails  warned Tuesday of a rise in &#8220;piracy&#8221; against Palestinian legal figures  as the Israelis arrested for the second time Palestinian MP Omar  Abdelrazeq earlier the same morning.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Israel arrested Change and Reform bloc representative Omar Abdelrazeq from his Salfit home on Tuesday, locals reported.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Abdelrazeq has earned a doctorate in  economics and served as Minister of Finance in the tenth Palestinian  government. He was taken previously in an arrest campaign targeting  Change and Reform bloc representatives and released after 32 months in  captivity.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The campaign said Israel is determined to silence Palestinian politicians through consecutive arrests and persecution.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Representatives Hatem Qufaisha, Mahmoud  al-Ramahi, Nayef al-Rajoub, Mohammed al-Tal, and Khalil al-Rib&#8217;i have  all been re-detained recently.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Most of them were arrested on flimsy  accusations and then held for six months under administrative detention  while the prosecutor searched for real charges. When he had not found  any, their prison terms were extended administratively.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The campaign called for legal action to be taken against Israel over its violations of international values and norms.</p>
