Military court orders Kabul bureau chief freed, after his arrest in August following holiday in West Bank hometown. Last Modified: 26 Sep 2011 17:04 | ||
Samer Allawi was arrested on August 10 while trying to cross the border between Jordan and the occupied West Bank, from which he hails. Israeli authorities charged him with being a member of Hamas. Allawi's arrest came at the end of a three-week holiday in his home town of Sebastia near Nablus in the West Bank. The Israeli authorities originally informed Allawi's family that he would be held for four days for questioning, saying that it was a "security-related arrest". He has been in Israeli state custody in a prison camp at the Petah Tikva detention centre. Salim Waqim, Allawi's lawyer, told Al Jazeera that his client was interrogated about his work and management of Al Jazeera's Kabul bureau, his personal financial information and his relationships with colleagues, friends, family and relatives. | ||
