Israeli forces have re-arrested the elderly Palestinian parliament speaker Aziz Dweik less than a week after his release in the occupied West Bank city of Hebron.
Local Palestinian media reported that Dweik was arrested late on Wednesday with footage showing Israeli soldiers taking him from his home and into a military vehicle.
Dweik was released on 13 June after originally being arbitrarily detained in October. He was held in military detention in the Negev desert for six months, which was later extended by Israeli authorities.
Activists and social media users raised the alarm about his condition after appearing significantly thinner on his release than before his detention in October.
They’ve learned from the previous doctor that when a prominent Palestinian “dies during interrogation”, there are literally zero consequences. So fuck it, let’s get this guy back into custody and let the problem take care of itself…
I guarantee you that was the thought process.
