Jerusalem – Nassir Al-Asaad
The Israeli “Ofer” Military Court, based near the central West Bank city of Ramallah, decided on Sunday to stay the deliberations on the detained Speaker of Palestinian Legislative Council PLC, Aziz Dweik, until next Tuesday. Attorney Fadi Qawasmi, who represents Dweik, said that a court session was held on Sunday to look into a request for Dweik’s release. The court decided to delay the deliberations until tomorrow, and it will be deliberating the possibility of transferring him to administrative detention as the prosecution never filed any charges against him.
