Al-Khalil, 23 Dzulqa’dah 1436/7 September 2015 (MINA) – Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) decided to prevent a Palestinian student girl from accessing Palestine Polytechnic University in southern al-Khalil for six months.

The student, Lubabah al-Herini, from Yatta town in al-Khalil, said the Israeli forces summoned her to be questioned at Kiryat Arba center for investigation where she was given a notice of bar of access to al-Khalil city, The Palestinian Information Center (PIC) quoted by Mi’raj Islamic News Agency (MINA) as reporting, Monday (7/9).

She revealed that the Israeli decision included ban of entry of the city until February 01, 2016 (6 months) due to her non-academic activities at university. Breaching the decision will result in her arrest, the notice states.

She said the decision aims at disrupting her study especially that she is at the final semester which will delay her graduation for an entire academic year.

The IOF barred many Palestinian students from accessing their universities especially in al-Khalil as part of the Israeli policies of mass punishment against Palestinian activists.(T/P008/R03)
