SHARANSKY OPPOSES P.A. STATE EXECUTIONS

Sharansky Opposes PA State Executions
In an urgent plea to Prime Minister Sharon, Minister Natan Sharansky wrote: "Israel must immediately demand of the PA that it stop the planned execution of suspected collaborators....It is unacceptable that the PA demands the release of terrorists from our jails, and we respond affirmatively because of the hope for an opening to peace, while at the very same time the PA is about to commit state executions of people accused of helping Israel thwart terror." "It is impossible to build a peace process based on blood," he added. (Jerusalem Post)
