136 C) Arrest and Prosecution of Heads and Board Members of Associations In 2010, the Security Services continued to prosecute heads of associations and their board members. On 02/03/2010, the Preventive Security Service in Nablus summoned Abla Basalat, Head of Bazaria Association for Mutual Benefit, and the Treasurer Kholoud Salem. “The Political Security Officer at the Preventive Security told the Head of the Association that the Preventive Security will replace the administrative board with a new board, fully affiliated with Fatah Movement. He requested the Head to close the Association and stop its activity. They closed the Association upon the request of the Preventive Service. It also requested the Director of the Association, Nawal Al‐Qadi, for an interview and to bring with her copies of the checks and the telephone numbers of beneficiaries.”171 Additionally, many workers in charitable organizations have been exposed to pressure in an attempt to force them to resign from work in these associations. Examples include the exposure of some employees at the Islamic Solidarity Association in Nablus to investigations in order to force them to resign from work. ICHR received many complaints, noting that the Preventive Security Service in Nablus summoned a number of employees and the seizure of their identity cards to pressure them to resign, including (Islam Khudair, Asma’ Mona, Berlant Kamal Mansour, Siham Kamal Abu Saud, Inas Hamad, Walid Kamel Alila, and Sabrine Kamhiyah). ICHR received a complaint from Asma’ Mona. It reads: “On 01/08/2010, she had an interview at the Preventive Security Service after being summoned by the Service. She stayed there from 10:00 until 15:30 pm. The questions were about her work in the Association. On 01/08/2010, her Identity Card (ID) was confiscated by the investigator and was not given back to her. She also used to go there every day from 10:00 until 15:00 pm to meet the investigators to pressure her to resign from work and her colleagues. Her ID card is still with them and they are still insisting on her to resign from work.172 She requested ICHR to approach the Preventive Security to return her ID card, to stop summoning her, and to stop interfering in her work. 171 172 According to a compliant received by ICHR.
