Renewal of administrative detention of MP Attoun for the second time

The Israeli occupation authorities renewed Tuesday administrative detention of the jerusalemite exiled prisoner Ahmed Mohammed Attoun for 4 months, for the second time in a row.
On 12/4/2017, the Israeli occupation forces arrested Atwan after they stormed his house in al-Bireh, searched it and destroyed its contents, and he was transferred later to administrative detention.
It is noteworthy that MP Attoun is expelled from Jerusalem for several years, and has spent more than 12 years in the prisons of the occupation, one of the symbols of national action in the holy city.
He had also a prominent role in the sit-in which the Jerusalemites MPs fought in the Red Cross tent in occupied Jerusalem, which lasted more than 500 days.
