SIGNATORIES DEFIANT AS PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY REPRESSION CONTINUES
1,500 SIGN STATEMENT IN THEIR SUPPORT

December 7, 1999

Eight Palestinian citizens who signed the November 27 statement condemning
corruption by the Palestinian Authority remain in detention. Five of them,
Ahmed Shaker Dooden, Dr. Yasser Abu Saffiyeh, Dr. Abdul Rahim Qitaneh,
Adnan Odeh and Dr. Afif Suleiman, held in Nablus Central Prison, have
entered the second day of a hunger strike.

The other detainees, Dr. Abdel Sattar Qasem, Ahmad Qatamesh and Dr. Adel
Samara are being detained in Jericho, awaiting a trial before the PA "State
Security Court," which has been widely condemned by national and
international human rights organizations. Today, a message was made public,
which was handed to the wife of Ahmad Qatamesh on 3 December 1999 from the
three detainees in the Jericho General Intelligence Prison reaffirming
their adherence to their principles. Ahmad Qatamesh was recently released
after spending six years in an Israeli prison without charge or trial.

Meanwhile, Palestinians and others, inside and outside Palestine have
continued to sign onto a statement demanding the immediate release of the
prisoners. More than 1,000 have signed the statement on the web, while
nearly five hundred others have signed on in Palestine.

The statement and the full list of signatories to date is attached below.

STATEMENT IN SUPPORT OF THE PALESTINE SIGNATORIES

We, the undersigned, condemn in the strongest terms the arrests by the
Palestinian Authority of Palestinian citizens, signatories of a statement
expressing their alarm about corruption in the Palestinian Authority, and
the failure of the Oslo Accords to secure the minimum of the Palestinian
people's rights. Those arrested should be released immediately, and all
proceedings against the signatories should be halted immediately.

The arrests are a totally unjustifiable attack on the freedom of
expression, which should be guaranteed to every person. While carrying out
these arrests, the Palestinian Authority is using the mantle of nationalism
and the language of unity to stifle legitimate and necessary criticism and
debate. Such repressive measures only harm the Palestinian people, and help
their enemies, who point to the lack of democracy as evidence that
Palestinians are incapable of governing themselves, and to the abuse of
human rights by the Authority as an excuse for their own abuses.

The statement rightly argues that continued widespread corruption and abuse
of power threaten to stifle Palestinian civil society from within. It
correctly notes that the agreements so far signed with Israel have utterly
failed to secure Palestinian rights or to stop the continued assault on the
Palestinian people from without.

We affirm in conclusion that Palestinian national aspirations cannot be
achieved in the absence of a fully democratic and open political system and
that no agreements signed with Israel will be legitimate unless they
represent a genuine, broad-based national consensus. Hence, new free and
fair elections are an urgent requirement.
