UM ELFAHAM, (PIC)-- The Israeli authorities handed Sheikh Raed Salah, the leader of the Islamic movement in 1948 occupied Palestine, an order banning him from visiting Jerusalem for one month.

A spokesman for the Arab organization for human rights told Quds Press on Tuesday that the decision was illegal.

Sheikh Raed returned to his hometown of Um El-Faham on Monday after 10 months in Britain during which he was indulged in legal procedures against the British Home Office’s decision to deport him.

The Sheikh won the legal battle and the decision was reversed by a British court judge, who said in a 29-page ruling that the Home Office Secretary was misled by mistaken information.

Salah was detained few days after his arrival in the UK for a speaking tour and was ordered to leave the country, but he appealed the decision and won.
