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.

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.
