<div><p>Addameer Prisoner Support & Human Rights
Association views with great concern the increasing numbers of
Palestinian university students who have been recently arrested by
Palestinian Authority security forces on grounds of political
affiliation. Following the latest student council elections at Birzeit
University, PA General Intelligence Service arrested the President-elect
of the Student Council, Abdulmajid Hasan, after having brutally
assaulted him in front of his home. Four other Birzeit University
students are also among those who were arrested within the last few days
and continue to be detained by PA security forces are: Yahya Qasem,
Abdullah Abu Qayyas, Abdulghani Fares, and Fouzi Abu Kweik. The current
arrest campaign carried out by the Palestinian Security Forces against
students of Palestinian universities in the West Bank is attributed to
the wrapping up of student council elections in a number of these
academic institutions.</p>
<p>Addameer Association calls upon the Palestinian Attorney General,
Counselor Akram Al-Khatib, and the heads of the Palestinian Security
Forces for the immediate release of all arrested students on the pretext
of political affiliations and their unionized student activities, and
to cease all prosecution of university students out of respect to the
obligations of the State of Palestine under the international
conventions and covenants that it signed.</p>
