Lawyer Muhannad Karaja announced that "the Public Prosecution freed the detainees who were arrested in connection with the participation in the protest in Ramallah last Sunday, to demand responsibility for the murder of Nizar Banat."
Sheikh Khader Adnan had announced that he was on a hunger strike, indicating that he refuses to be represented by any lawyer in order to deny legitimacy to the court.
On Sunday, the head of the Islamic Jihad movement, Sheikh Khader Adnan was arrested. In response, Tariq Salmi, the media spokesman for the movement, expressed that by arresting Adnan, the authorities are infringing on public liberties and violating national symbols.
