<p>Eight Palestinian students continue to be detained by the Palestinian
Authority after one was released on Monday, a source close to the
students’ council at Birzeit University near Ramallah, told The New
Arab.</p>
<p>The students’ council accuses the PA of arresting the students for political reasons.</p>
<p>On Sunday, the students’ council released a statement announcing that
the PA security forces had arrested three students who are active in
the student movement.</p>
<p>“We, in the students’ council, refuse the injustice and arrogance
that deprives students of their right to a safe university life,” read
the statement.</p>
<p>On Sunday, dozens of Palestinians, including many students,
demonstrated in Ramallah against what they called ‘political detentions’
by the PA, demanding the immediate release of the prisoners.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, a group of students continue to hold a sit-in inside
Birzeit’s campus, in protest of the PA’s detentions and demanding the
immediate release of those arrested.</p>
<p>The PA’s security forces haven’t made any public comments on the Birzeit University students’ detentions.</p>
