TEHRAN, May 3 (NNN-IRNA) – The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman, yesterday, condemned Israel for the death of a prominent leader of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) in an Israeli prison.
Nasser Kanaani made the remarks in a statement, on the Iranian Foreign Ministry’s website, in reaction to the death of Khader Adnan, who died in an Israeli prison yesterday, after he went on a hunger strike for 86 days.
He said, Adnan’s “martyrdom” in an Israeli prison further manifested the “rightfulness” of the oppressed Palestinian nation’s resistance.
Kanaani noted that, the detention of the Palestinian citizen and the way he was treated by Israelis was a flagrant instance of Israel’s “inhumane and violent” behaviour towards the Palestinian people over the past 70 years, which is tantamount to a “crime against humanity.”
He said, the silence of the international community and human rights bodies, over Israel’s acts will further encourage the Israelis to continue their inhumane behaviours.– NNN-IRNA
