The political group Hizb al-Tahrir said on Saturday that Palestinian Authority security services had arrested 10 of its members across the West Bank.
Hizb al-Tahrir, which translates as Party of Liberation, said in a statement that their members had been arrested over speeches delivered in West Bank mosques following Friday prayers that condemned a PA decision to ban a party conference that was going to be held in Ramallah.
Hizb al-Tahrir is a pan-Islamic political organization which was founded in Jerusalem in 1953 with the goal of uniting all Muslims into a united state with an elected Caliph at its head.
They regularly promote their ideas through speeches in mosques or issuing statements following Friday prayer or at other large Muslim gatherings.
