Freedom to Azmi Al Khawaja and
All Political Prisoners in Jordan
On January 12th, the Jordanian
authorities raided and searched the
home of the distinguished nationalist
leader, Mr. Azmi Al Khawaja,
member of the PFLP’s Politbureau, the
Palestinian National Council and the
Jordanian Peace and Solidarity Com-
mittee. He was arrested and placed in
solitary confinement at the General In-
telligence jail in Amman. This
repressive act against Azmi Al Khawaja
(Abu Issam) is part of the broad arrest
campaign enacted by the Jordanian
security forces over the past month.
Azmi Abdul Aziz Khawaja was born
in Ramallah, Palestine in 1936.He has a
B.S. in Business from Cairo University.
He worked as a teacher in the Ramallah
area schools until the 1967 occupation
of the West Bank. He suffers from
kidney and stomach diseases which
make the fact of his detention an
especially dangerous matter. He has
been arrested by the Jordanianj
authorities three times before and held
for varying periods: once for three
years, another time for two years, and
the third time from September 1981
The General Secretariat of the
Committees for the Defense of
Democratic Freedoms in Jordan issued
a communique upon Abu Issam’s ar-
rest, strongly condemning this op-
pressive measure, and calling on inter-
national organizations and _ all
democratic, juridical and humanitarian
institutions to issue statements of con-
demnation and to contact the Jorda-
nian government, demanding the
release of Abu Issam and all political
prisoners in Jordan’s jails.
