BETHLEHEM (Ma'an) -- Palestinian Authority intelligence services on Tuesday freed four Hamas affiliates whose release had previously been ordered in PA courts, the Independent Commission for Human Rights said.

The commission said in a statement that Ala Mahmud Harb, Ala Zuheir al-Tarda, Khaled Muhammad al-Tarda, and Muhammad Abed Rabbo Shalalda were freed by intelligence forces of the Fatah-led PA, which governs the West Bank.

The body called for the immediate release of all detainees who are held despite court orders mandating their release.
