The Israeli occupation authorities (IOA) prevented on Saturday the mother of a Palestinian liberated prisoner deported to the Gaza Strip from traveling to Jordan and summoned her for interrogation.
Sources close to Mrs. Fatima Abu Arqoub, 57, - according to Quds Press agency - reported that the IOA stopped Fatima on Saturday at "Al Karama Crossing" and prevented her from entering Jordan, from which she planned to travel to Egypt and then to the Gaza Strip in order to attend the engagement ceremony of her son, the liberated captive Amjad.
The sources added that the occupation forces, stationed on "Al Karama crossing", summoned Mrs. Abu Arqoub to the headquarters of the "Civil Liaison Office" in the city of al-Khalil, in the southern occupied West Bank, for interrogation.
According to Abu Arqoub family; Amjad's engagement ceremony is taking place in Gaza this week, and he waits for the arrival of his mother, whom he had seen only once since his release from the Israeli occupation prisons, nearly a year ago.
Amjad had been sentenced to 25 years imprisonment on charges of affiliation with the Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas movement. He had served in Israeli jails nine years of his sentence and had been recently released under the "Wafa al-Ahrar" prisoners exchange deal.
Mrs. Fatima Abu Arqoub appealed to the Palestinian Authority and the humanitarian and human rights organizations to immediately intervene to allow her to travel and meet her son.
