Arrest Campaigns still Going On in Dalaa [Archives:2000/42/Local News]

Arrest campaigns against citizens in Dalaa are still going on. They were launched last week following a demonstration staged by people protesting their bad economic conditions.
Security forces which have already detained 13 persons during the demonstration released three of them while the others are still behind bars.
Local sources in the governorate of Dalaa said that most of those detained in pending investigation jails in the governorate belonged to Peoples Committees while others to opposition parties. These sources added that interrogations were still going on with them in the prison.
In its statement, of which YT received a copy, the Peoples Committee in the governorate commented on the illegal security measures against the citizens freedoms. It also considered these measures as flagrant violation of the law.

Representatives from the coordination opposition council met with officials from the governorate Friday to facilitate detainees release. However, until Sunday evening they were still under arrest.
