Abla Sa’adat’s detention “comes as part of a systematic policy targeting leaders of the national and women’s movement, as well as their families, in a desperate attempt to deter them from continuing their struggle against the occupation.” – PFLP
Israeli occupation forces have detained Abla Sa’adat, the wife of imprisoned Palestinian leader Ahmad Sa’adat, Secretary-General of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), after raiding their home in Al-Bireh, in the occupied West Bank.
Abla Saadat was detained along with three other women; Tahreer Jaber, Doaa al-Qadi, and journalist Qutaiba Hamdan, as well as several men amid a large-scale invasion in the early hours of Tuesday, according to two Palestinian prisoner organizations.
The Detainees and Ex-Detainees Commission and the Palestine Prisoners Society said in a joint statement that at least 30 Palestinians were detained in various governorates in the occupied territory in 24 hours.
‘Systematic Policy’ – PFLP
The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) has condemned the arrest of Abla Sa’adat as “a new crime targeting the steadfastness and struggle of Palestinian women.”
The Front added that her arrest highlights “the criminal policies of the occupation towards Palestinian women, who are continuously subjected to abuse and imprisonment,” as is happening with activist Khalida Jarrar.
Israeli forces have also detained several other individuals, bringing the total number of Palestinians detained in the occupied West Bank since October 7 to over 10,700, as reported by prisoner organizations.
High-Profile Prisoner
Ahmad Sa’adat, also known as Abu Ghassan, is the Secretary-General of the PFLP and a high-profile Palestinian prisoner, facing a lengthy sentence imposed by Israeli forces.
