Hamas terrorists allowed out of Arafat’s prisons by day, just sleep there at night

Zionist Organisation of America Press Release, February 4, 1999

Hamas terrorists who are supposed to be “imprisoned” in
Yasir Arafat’s Palestinian Authority jails are actually allowed to leave
the prison each day and merely have to check in at night.

The Israeli news service Middle East News Line, edited by prominent
Israeli journalists Mohammed Najib and Steve Rodan, reports (February 2,
1999): “Palestinian sources said the PA has allowed dozens of Hamas
members detained last year to leave prison every morning on condition they
return that night. The sources said the PA has instituted daily furloughs
for some Hamas detainees last year in an attempt to dampen pressure for
their release.”

There have been many similar reports in recent months about PA
prisons allowing Hamas terrorists to leave at will or being used as a means
of protecting terrorists from Israel capture:

  • Two Hamas terror suspects jailed by the PA have been given
    permission “to leave their cells for studies at Bir Zeit University” each
    day. (Jerusalem Post, April 22, 1998)
  • In February 1998, the head of the PA’s secret police
    brought a representative of the CIA to a prison in Jericho, to show him
    that Youssef Ra’i and Shaher Ra’i, two terrorists who murdered Israelis,
    were imprisoned. But according to an investigative report by the Jerusalem
    Report (March 5, 1998), “the visit was an elaborate ruse to placate the
    Americans…the Ra’is living normal lives outside the prison
    walls…Eyewitnesses have seen them at coffee shops and markets in the
    town, in the company of family members and friends.”
  • Peace Watch, a non-partisan Israeli organization that
    monitors violations of the Oslo accords, reported in May 1996 that Abd
    al-Majid Dudin, who was involved in a 1996 Jerusalem bus bombing in which
    four people were killed (including Connecticut schoolteacher Joan Davenny),
    was sentenced to 12 years in prison by the Palestinian Authority but,
    instead of being behind bars, was hired as a guard in the PA’s Jericho
    jail.
  • The Israeli government revealed in September 1997 that four of
    the five terrorists who carried out bombings in Jerusalem that year, in
    which 20 Jews were murdered, came from an Arab village near the
    PLO-controlled city of Nablus. According to the Associated Press (Sept.23,
    1997), after a previous wave of Hamas bombings in 1996, “the four knew they
    were wanted by Israel and felt they would be safer in Palestinian custody.”
    At their own request, they were “imprisoned” in the PA’s jail in Nablus.
    The Associated Press quoted a PLO security official as saying that
    “security was lax and inmates often were allowed to spend several hours a
    day in town.” In September 1996, “the four did not return from such an
    outing.”
  • Associated Press correspondent Laura King visited the PLO’s
    Jneid Prison, in Nablus, on September 15, 1997 and found extraordinarily
    lax conditions:

    The prison’s door was wide open. So was the barred
    door leading to the small cellblock. So was each cell door.
    Mingling with their captors or chatting among
    themselves were 15 members of the Islamic group Hamas,
    spending another day in Palestinian custody
    rounded by recently by Yasir Arafat’s Palestinian Authority
    in response to Israeli and U.S. demands that he crack down
    on Islamic militants who have staged terrorist attacks.

    Yesterday, however, security at Jneid was so casual
    that journalists strolled unescorted through the main
    entrance and walked straight into the common area where
    Hamas detainees were wandering about outside their cells,
    smoking and talking.

    The Hamas detainees said they had been told their
    detention was temporary, and mean to shield them from
    covert Israeli action.

  • The New York Times, on Aug. 22, 1997, quoted the Israeli
    government spokesman as revealing that “Rather than arrest the militants
    named on lists provided by Israel, the Palestinian Authority appears in
    some cases to have provided them with bodyguards to protect them from a
    possible Israeli snatch.”

Morton A. Klein, National President of the Zionist Organization of
America, said: “Arafat is not putting terrorists in jail–he’s giving them
free nights in what is essentially a Palestinian Authority hotel. This
makes a mockery of Arafat’s commitment to combat terror. The Clinton
administration, which explicitly promised Israel that it would protest
Arafat’s releases of terrorists, should speak out.”
