A Palestinian human rights committee, concerned with the Palestinian prisoners' affairs, has revealed that the Israeli occupation forces had arrested during the past week 77 Palestinians from the West Bank and occupied Jerusalem.
"Prisoner's Friends" Committee reported in a statement on Saturday that during the period between March 30 and April 5, the occupation troops have stormed houses of detainees and set up military checkpoints on main roads.
According to the Committee's report, the Israeli Magistrate Court in Jerusalem decided to release ten Jerusalemites on bail of 500 shekels each along with a commitment not to approach Bab Al-Amud suburb in occupied Jerusalem for 20 days.
The report added that during the past week the occupation authorities have postponed the trial of a number of prisoners, turned down appeals, and extended the administrative detention of a Hamas cadre.
