Ma'an News Agency/Arabic Service reported today that the Israeli authorities changed the status of the Palestinian political prisoner Firas Ahmad Hassan, 33, into an administrative detainee.
Firas Hassan had already served four years in an Israeli prison. He is also the brother of Thaer Hassan, a sportsperson, who was killed by the Israeli Occupation Forces in Bethlehem following a house demolition, on the 3rd November, 2006. Thaer was accused of being a member of an armed wing of the Hamas party.
I am not going to say that the IA decision concerning Firas is any related with the fate of his brother, but surely anyone can see that it is blatant.
