Hamas detains Gaza activist after interrogations
None
A Gaza rights activist says Hamas security officials have detained a well-known Palestinian political activist. Khalil Shaheen says 25-year-old Mohammed Matar was detained three days ago after he was repeatedly interrogated over his participation in a French conference about Palestinian activism.
Matar belongs to a group of activists who held small rallies in March urging Gaza's Hamas rulers to unite with their rivals, the Fatah-led Palestinian Authority that rules the West Bank. Palestinians want both territories for their future state, but a reconciliation deal that Hamas and Fatah signed in May has stalled.(AP)
