RAMALLAH: The PLO Prisoners and Ex-Prisoners Affairs Authority said today that the Israeli prison administration has been refusing to disclose the imprisonment location of senior Fatah official Marwan Barghouti after his forcible transfer from the Ofer prison over one week ago. In a joint press statement, the Prisoners and Ex-Prisoners Affairs Authority and the Palestinian Prisoner's Society (PPS) held the Israeli occupation fully responsible for the life of the detained official Marwan Barghouti. Barghouti, who hails from the town of Kobar in the occupied West Bank province of Ramallah, has been detained since April 15, 2002. He is considered the first Palestinian member of parliament and the first member of the Central Committee of the Fatah movement to be arrested by the occupation authorities. He is sentenced to five life sentences plus 40 years in prison. Source: Palestine News and Information Agency – WAFA
