IRSP Demand Release of Ahmad Saadat 24 June 2002 A spokesperson for the International Department of the Irish Republican Socialist Party dismissed the Palestinian Authority's justification as, "transparently false" and "yet another example of caving in to the Zionist's demands." Ahmad Saadat is the General Secretary of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. He was arrested by Arafat's Palestinian Authority police for allegedly having ordered the assassination of a right-wing member of the Israeli cabinet. When Zionist troops overan the West Bank, the American and British governments agreed to ensure Saadat was held. Subsequently, the Supreme Court of the PA ruled that Saadat was not guilty and ordered him released. Yet he remains incarcerated, with Arafat claiming this is to protect him from Israeli assassination squads roving the countryside. Comments: Google It! 6:44:47 AM
