Head of PLO Prisoners’ Commission: Prisoners’ salaries will continue, Israel withholding taxes is “robbery”
Headline: “Karake: We’re continuing to transfer the allowances to the prisoners and Martyrs’ families”
“Director of [PLO] Commission of Prisoners’ Affairs Issa Karake emphasized that the transfer of the allowances to the Martyrs’ (Shahids’) families and prisoners will continue. He described the occupation government’s attempt to authorize the theft of the allowances of the Palestinian prisoners and Martyrs’ families from the PA’s tax revenues as robbery (refers to a new bill to deduct PA salaries to terrorists from taxes Israel collects for the PA –Ed.), and emphasized that there will be a petition to the international legal system to sue the occupation government over this crime.
Karake told Radio Mawtini today (Tuesday) [June 13, 2017]: ‘The occupation authorities have no right to hold the Palestinian tax revenues. The transfer of the allowances to the Martyrs’ families and prisoners will continue, and we will not submit to the Israeli pressures. We will adhere to the aid to the prisoners and Martyrs’ families, because they are victims of the occupation.’
The director of the Commission of Prisoners’ Affairs… warned against the Israeli occupation government’s attempt to delegitimize the Palestinian struggle and put it on the terror lists, by legalizing the robbery of the allowances of the prisoners and Martyrs’ families.”
