<\/p>\n

\n

Letter dated 6 September 1985 from the Deputy Permanent Observer of the<\/u><\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Palestine Liberation Organization to the Â鶹APP<\/u><\/p><\/div>\n

\n

addressed to the Secretary-General<\/u><\/p><\/div>\n

\n

\t<\/span>I am instructed by Yasser Arafat, Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization to bring the following to your most urgent attention.  Twenty-four Palestinians have been arrested during the past two days by the Israeli occupation authorities under the 4 August 1985 reimposed administrative detention law.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

\t<\/span>Yesterday, several Palestinian homes in Al-Khalil (Hebron) were blown up by the Israeli occupation authorities, the town was placed under curfew, and the area declared a military zone.  Hundreds of Palestinians were rounded up in the main square. Israeli occupation troops opened fire on them injuring several. Mass arrests then took place.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

\t<\/span>The Palestinian Gaza Strip has also been placed under curfew and declared a military zone. Again, scores of Palestinians have been arrested.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

\t<\/span>The number of Palestinians arrested since 4 August 1985 under the administrative detention law is now well beyond one hundred.  Among those arrested are fifty Trade Unionists.  The number of Palestinians facing forced deportation is fifteen.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

\t<\/span>The situation in the Israeli-occupied Palestinian territories is extremely volatile and requires an immediate practical response from the Â鶹APP Secretary-General and the Â鶹APP Security Council.<\/p><\/div>\n
