The Case of Bassam Shakaa's Detention, 1979
Issued in 1979, this newspaper clipping features a photograph of the Nablus Conference, held by the municipal mayors in Nablus in the same year in solidarity with the case of the detention of Bassam Shakaa, mayor of Nablus, by the Israeli Occupation Authorities, and highlights the implications of his detention on the West Bank and Gaza Strip, which are manifested in the resignation of the municipal councils, the general strike, and the international solidarity campaigns calling for pressure to secure his release. Karim Khalaf, mayor of Ramallah, appears in the photograph being lifted up on the crowd’s shoulders.
