Ma'an – Three Palestinians from the Bruqin marked 21 years in Israeli custody on Saturday, head of Salfit Detainees Center said Wednesday.
A statement released by Abdul Nasser Farawneh, himself a former detainee, said the three men were detained on 20 June 1989 and were charged with affiliation to Fatah and killing an Israeli settler.
Fahim Ibrahim 42, Mustapha Al-Hajj, 43, and Bilal Damra 41, were sentenced to life, Farwaneh added.
The detainees' parents appealed to human rights groups to intervene in their cases and call for their immediate release.
