<p style="font-size:10pt;">AL-KHALIL, (PIC)&#8211; The committee of political prisoner families in the West Bank has called on the local and worldwide media to cover a sit-in the group has scheduled for noon Thursday at the Ibn Rushd Square in Al-Khalil.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The committee said in a press statement on Monday that the protests would continue until the Hamas-Fatah unity deal, which provides for the release of all political prisoners, is implemented.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The committee has also called on the media not to announce events operated under the committee&#8217;s name without official permission, denying organizing similar sit-ins in Nablus and Ramallah.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The committee called on Palestinians to join the peaceful protests.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The West Bank has seen a marked increase in political arrests targeting members of Hamas, which has recently signed a reconciliation deal with Fatah.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">On Thursday, Palestinian Authority security forces nabbed a Hamas man in Salfit and two others in Nablus.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Two of the men had spent time in Israeli jails.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The same day, the security services tried two other men in Nablus before a military tribunal there. The men were earlier apprehended by security services immediately after they were released from Israeli custody.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Days beforehand, the PA security services in the West Bank arrested six men claiming they belonged to the Hamas group and summoned five others, according to the reports of locals.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Most of the men were previously detained in Israeli prisons. Some were released and ordered to go back for questioning.</p>
