Cairo : The Arab League has condemned here the Israeli military court’s three-year prison sentence against Speaker of the Palestinian Legislative Council (PLC) Dr Abdelaziz Duwaik and several of his colleagues.
The League stated that the court’s verdict last Tuesday was not based on any legal documents or evidence that convicted the Speaker of any acts of terrorism against Israel.
This verdict showcased the injustice of the Israeli judicial system which was against all international law, said the League, adding that the decision to imprison Duwaik and several PLC members would effect the legislative development in the Palestinian territories.
The Israeli military conducted in June 2006 an operation against the PLC which ended with the arrest of Duwaik and 20 MPs in addition to several religious figures.
