Diria Abu Sisi &#8211; alqudsonline.com</p>
<p class="article">Abu  Sisi is currently being detained in Ashkelon prison. Yesterday, 20  March 2011, a lawyer from the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR)  managed to visit Abu Sisi for the first time.</p>
<p>Abu Sisi told the PCHR lawyer that on 19 February 2011 he was travelling  by train from Kharkov to Kiev to meet with his brother Yousef who was  coming from the Netherlands.</p>
<p>Abu Sisi stated that three persons, two in military uniforms, entered  his room on the train. They asked him to show his passport but he  refused. Then they threatened him and forcefully took his passport.</p>
<p>They forced him to get off the train at the nearby station of Poltava.  At this time he was handcuffed and hooded. He was transported in a car  to Kiev. Once in Kiev he was held in an apartment where there were  another six persons who introduced themselves to be members of the  Mossad.</p>
<p>Abu Sisi said that the Mossad members immediately questioned him and  then flew him by plane. The flight lasted between four and five hours  before landing in a place unknown to him.</p>
<p>Approximately thirty minutes later, they took off again and the flight  lasted for approximately one hour. Upon landing Abu Sisi found himself  in Israel.</p>
<p>Abu Sisi told the PCHR lawyer that he was denied contact with a lawyer for fourteen days.</p>
<p>This denial was extended for another eleven days. He said that he was  placed under intensive interrogations and that he was denied his legal  rights.</p>
<p>It should be noted that the Israeli security authorities imposed a media  blackout regarding the kidnapping of Abu Sisi and prevented lawyers  from visiting him to check on his health and provide legal assistance  during the second period.</p>
<p>After knowing the details from Abu Sisi, PCHR has doubts about whether  there was collusion from international parties in the kidnapping.  Especially as Abu Sisi was not legally arrested by Ukrainian authorities  and he did not have any appearances in domestic courts.</p>
<p>PCHR has concerns over the deterioration of Abu Sisi&#8217;s health and notes  that he has cholelithiasis and he takes blood thinning medicines.</p>
<p>He is experiencing serious psychological problems after going into long  and continued investigation sessions. PCHR calls for the immediate  release of Abu Sisi.  * The Palestinian Center For Human Rights</p>
