Detained Palestinian MPs call for filing their case with international court
Palestinian PLC members detained in the Israeli Ofer jail have called on legal institutions and all concerned societies to table their case with the international court of justice in The Hague to demand their release.
MP Hatem Qufaisha explained that efforts should focus on the legal aspect of their detention and to form an international legal committee to follow up their case instead of leaving the deputies to political whims or the "good intentions" of occupation.
For his part, MP Ahmed Mubarak said that the people and its authority are called upon to focus their efforts on freedom of the detained lawmakers and to shun differences.
He called for restoration of people's unity, and championed halting media campaigns and releasing political prisoners as an introduction to dialogue.
The MPs were speaking during a visit by Nafha legal society's lawyer to them.
