The PA Bureau on prisoners’ affairs has underlined that Palestinian captive Mohammed Khalil al-Halabi’s trial was the longest trial ever in the captives’ movement history.

Police on Tuesday arrested a Palestinian man from the West Bank suspected of raping a 13-year-old girl in Ashdod, stating that the suspect fled to the West Bank after the incident, which took place in May, and that he was located and arrested on Tuesday.
However, according to information obtained by Haaretz, the suspect, a man in his 30s, reported of his own accord to the police stations last week, and was not initially arrested.
In a statement, the police said the man, a maintenance worker in an Ashdod boarding school, is suspected of taking one of the students to his room and raping her. Ashkelon Magistrate’s Court extended his detention on Wednesday for six days.
Although the police claimed he fled and was located for arrest, the suspect went to the police station on July 3, and asked if he was wanted for investigation, as his entry permit to Israel had been revoked and he had heard rumors that the police wanted to question him. His attorney, Shani Farjun, said officers told him he does not need to be questioned, and he then left the site.
Farjun added that the suspect visited five other Israeli police stations in the West Bank and was told at all of them that he was not being sought for questioning.
“From the moment the suspect learned he was to be questioned in connection with a sex crime, he showed up immediately at the police stations in Hebron and Gush Etzion, where he was explicitly and unequivocally told he was not wanted for questioning … The suspect received documentation from the Israeli police confirming this,” the attorney said. “His conduct and desire to be questioned are the best testimony to his innocence, for he did not try to escape questioning and did all he could to clear his name,” she added.
Palestinian man arrested on suspicion of sexually assaulting teen in Ashdod
The suspect who was doing renovations at a school established a relationship with the 13-year-old student, allegedly took her to one of the apartments he was renovating and assaulted the girl; he was located in the West Bank after 2 months
A Palestinian man from the West Bank was arrested Tuesday on suspicion of sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl at a school in the southern city of Ashdod two months ago.
The suspect, who is believed to be in his thirties, was living in Ashdod at the time and was allegedly employed by the school to do renovations work.
The Magistrate's Court in Ashkelon extended his remand on Wednesday morning and allowed the case to be publicized without revealing the details of either the perpetrator or the victim. The initial complaint was filed with the police toward the end of May.
According to the police, the suspect established a relationship with the teenager while doing renovations at the school the girl was attending. One day the two apparently went to a nearby apartment - which the suspect was also renovating - and sexually assaulted the 13 year old.
Fearing his actions will be exposed, the Palestinian then left Ashdod and his whereabouts remained unknown until last Tuesday when he was finally apprehended by the police after a two-months manhunt.
"Following a police report, we launched an immediate investigation which led us to believe the suspect was hiding in the territories of the Palestinian Authority," the police said in a statement.
"We’d taken a variety of actions to locate the suspect, including requesting assistance from other security forces … The investigation is still in its initial stages and we will continue taking the necessary actions in order to get to the truth,” the police added.
