RAMALLAH, (PIC)-- The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) has asked the Bulgarian authorities not to respond to Israel's request to hand it over Palestinian ex-detainee Omar Zayed, warning of serious consequences for such action.
In a press release on Saturday, the PFLP said that if Bulgaria took such measure against Zayed, it would be considered a dangerous precedent and a prelude to the arrest and prosecution of Palestinians and Arabs, especially the ex-detainees, living in Europe.
It described the case of Zayed as a national issue with political dimensions and the story of a person who struggled for the freedom of his people, stressing that the international law gave him the right to resist the occupation.
The PFLP urged the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and the Palestinian embassies in Sofia and Europe to assume their responsibilities towards their nationals and move legally and politically to protect Zayed against any attempt to extradite or prosecute him.
