Syrian Captive Al-Makt Rejects Conditional Release From Israeli Jails

Dean of the Syrian freedom fighters and captive in the Israeli jails Sedki Suleiman al-Makt renewed his adherence to the resistance and struggle to confront the Israeli occupation and his refusal to his conditional release which keeps him away from the occupied Syrian Arab Golan.

In a letter sent from inside the Negev prison in the south of Palestinian to his family in the occupied Syrian Golan, which SANA office in Al-Qunietera province received a copy of today, the prisoner Al-Makt stressed refusal to his conditional release by the Israeli occupation authorities in exchange for keeping him away from the Syrian Golan and his birthplace Majdal Shams.

He underscored his belonging to his homeland Syria, his adherence to the Syrian Arab identity and his right to live at his home in his town.

He pointed out that the occupation authorities’ condition to release him was in return for keeping him away from the Syrian occupied Golan and that comes within the framework of their aggressive and repressive policies.

Al-Makt stressed that the occupation aggressive policies aim at keeping the national prominent personalities of the occupied Syrian Golan away from their land as the occupation authorities did with a number of Palestinian leaders, stressing his legitimate right, which was guaranteed by international laws and conventions to live in his homeland, land and town.

The Israeli authorities released Sedki al-Makt in August in 2012 after 27 years he spent in Israeli prisons and re-arrested him on February 25, 2015 after breaking into his family home in the town of Majdal Shams in the occupied Syrian Golan. on May 16, 2017 he was sentenced to 14 years imprisonment by a decision of the occupation forces after his trial was postponed dozens of times.
