<p style="font-size:10pt;">RAMALLAH, (PIC)&#8211; Speaker of the Palestinian legislative council Dr. Aziz Dweik has denounced the PA security apparatuses in the West Bank for violently quelling a peaceful rally in support of political detainees.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Policewomen assaulted MP Mona Mansour while dispersing the rally, a thing described by Dweik as a violation of the law other than being a violation of the lawmaker’s immunity.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">He warned on Tuesday that such practices were impeding national reconciliation other than being a serious breach of the law.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The speaker said that releasing political detainees is one of the most important prerequisites of national reconciliation that would pave the way for fair and transparent elections.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">For his part, first deputy speaker Dr. Ahmed Bahar told a solidarity rally for women at the PLC headquarters in Gaza on Tuesday that the security elements’ assault on the MP and her daughter was a serious act, adding that it violated international laws, Islamic ethics, and Palestinian traditions.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">He charged that many security commanders in the West Bank do not wish to see the national reconciliation implemented because “they are serving foreign agendas and personal interests”.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Meanwhile, the political detainees said that all those involved in the attack should be brought to account.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">They said in a statement that using force against a peaceful rally reflected a premeditated intention to sabotage reconciliation and the mentality of oppression.</p>
