    The following is a translation of a leaflet that was
    distributed yesterday. It is said to be a letter smuggled
    out by PA detainee Ghassan Addassi.  Please excuse the
    poor translation, but I thought the information in it would
    be of some interest.

    is apparently the 'official' Hamas website, but is
    unfortunately only in arabic.  There is another
    unofficial site in english

    Translated leaflet from the Palestinian Information Center

    New Leaflet - 12 April 1998
    Islamic Resistance Movement

    Secret Letter from prisoner Ghassan Addassi, in the
    Palestinian Authority prisons

    In the name of God, the most merciful and compassionate

    Dear Brother  _________  God Protect You

    If you receive this letter, please work on publishing it
    in the media and as widely as possible.

    With my heartfelt greetings.  To my dear Palestinian
    people, I know that publishing this letter may bring me to
    my death. But you should know that I am dying in my prison
    here a million times a day.

    I want you all to know that I know nothing about the
    martyrdom of Muhyideen al-Shareef and I didn't have any
    part or haven�t been witness to his killing, as
    interrogators are claiming.  I confessed to this story
    after I had been tortured and threatened in a way that I
    have never before seen in my life.  They threatened me
    that they would charge me with collaborating with the Jews,
    and that I had a part in the assassination of Muhyideen by
    Jewish orders.  They beat me severely, prevented me from
    sleeping for more than three days in a row, hung me from
    by my hands from the ceiling of my prison cell, and
    practiced barbaric ways of torture and insults that a
    tongue cannot even describe.  All this, just to make me
    tell a story they wrote and a story that I hadn't heard or
    known about before.  All this was done by Rajoub, Tayeb
    Abdel Raheem, Tirrawi and Ismail Jabr and other
    interrogators.  They forced me to tell this story under
    threat.

    I told Sheikh Mahmoud Musleh what I have been through, but
    when Hatem Abdel Qader, the Legislative Council member,
    visited me, Jibril Rajoub talked to me before the visit
    took place.  He told me that my sister  was also arrested
    and he threatened that they would violate her if I told
    Hatem Abdel Qader that I had been tortured or threatened.
    They asked me to say that I voluntarily confessed and this
    is the story that I told Hatem Abdel Qader.   I swear
    before God, that I wouldn't have done this if I wasn't
    afraid for my innocent sister and for her purity.  But
    later, I knew that she was no longer arrested.

    And here I am today, announcing my innocence in front of
    my people and before my brothers in Hamas in order for them
    to know that I didn't betray them, but what I have been
    through is much greater than I can withstand.  The prophet,
    God's praise and peace be upon him, allowed Ammar Ibn
    Yasser to curse the prophet when he was under torture.  I
    am myself no stronger in faith than Ammar Ibn Yasser.

    I urge President Yasser Arafat and ask him to give me
    safety for my well-being and to give me the chance to tell
    the truth before the media.

    Everybody knows, beginning with my family, my brothers and
    sisters, that I am innocent from all their false
    accusations and that I was sleeping at home when the
    explosion happened.

    Even with this letter that I am writing to you to clear
    myself, they will be able to force me to say that I didn't
    send because they have ways and types of torture that
    Satan himself cannot imagine.

    Finally, if this letter is my last testament in this life,
    I ask my family and the Palestinian people and my brothers
    in Hamas to all forgive me.  And god knows that I am
    innocent, as God is my witness.

    Ghassan Addassi

You did not need to translate or even spread this letter. It is well known, even
among US intelligence agency that Arafat and his gang of thugs are behind the
entire assasination. But Criminal Arafat shall go down in history as one of the
greatest criminal of all time. I am neither Hamas nor Palestinian. But after
seeing the contribution and the honesty among the Moslems of Palestine, I came to
the final conclusion that Arafat and his 40 thieves are not fit to rule human
beings. They are fit to rule themselve only.
