Azam Russia brings you the latest news update about what
happening around the world now.
Palestine
: Palestinian political prisoners, Samer Al-Eesawy, signed an agreement with
Israel after prosecutors reached an agreement after 8 months of his release in
return for ending their hunger strike.

Al-Eesawy states continue to take supplements and vitamins as advised by the
doctor and will end their hunger strike.
Speaking to his sister, lawyer Shireen Al-Eesawy, Samer
thank him and all the support strike demanding the end of his detention
illegal.
Palestine :
Following the Chief Detention Affairs Committee, Amin Shauhan, confirmed that
more than 1,000 Palestinian prisoners suffer from different diseases including
25 patients with cancer.
Prisoners face medical negligence inflicted by the Israeli
prison service intended to kill them like what happened to the martyr Ashraf
Abu Dra'a, Arafat Jaradat and Maysara Abu Hamdiya, he said.
He stressed that the colonists delay in dealing with hunger
strikers demand Samer al-Issawi after failed repatriation to countries of
Europe.
Sanaa,
Yemen - An ongoing hunger strike by nearly half of
Guantanamo's 166 prisoners has galvanised street protests outside the US
embassy in Yemen, where detainees' long-suffering families have been raising
their voices.
The current hunger strike, sparked on February 7 by what
prisoners say was the mishandling of the Quran, has been said to be
particularly brutal. Prisoners have reportedly been shot with rubber bullets,
thrown into isolated cells and force-fed with tubes.
Of the prisoners who remain at Guantanamo, 86 have been
cleared for release, sometimes repeatedly, but none have yet returned home.
They have been pushed to desperate measures. Remes, who
currently represents 14 Yemeni prisoners in Guantanamo, said Salman told him
this is the "first time everyone is striking to death".
One of US President Barack Obama's first promises in office
was to close Guantanamo. He is now in his second administration, and human
rights advocates and lawyers say the situation has worsened.
Almost 800 prisoners have passed through Guantanamo since it
opened 11 years ago, said Zachary Katznelson, a lawyer with the American Civil
Liberties Union (ACLU), but only 13 military commissions - heavily censored and
seemingly skewed to the detriment of the defendants - have been convened.
Serbia
: Serbia's nationalist President Tomislav Nikolic has personally apologised for
the first time for the 1995 Srebrenica massacre of 8,000 Muslims, but stopped
short of calling it genocide.
"I kneel and ask for forgiveness for Serbia for the
crime committed in Srebrenica," Nikolic said on Thursday in an interview
to be aired on Bosnian national television parts of which have been released on
You Tube.
"I apologise for the crimes committed by any individual
in the name of our state and our people," he said in the interview.
Nikolic's office confirmed to AFP news agency the
authenticity of the statement.
Thousands of Bosnians, mostly Muslims, were killed by Serb
soldiers during the Balkan War between 1992 and 1996.
After being elected last May, Nikolic caused a stir in the
region by refusing to acknowledge that the massacre in the Bosnian enclave, was
a genocide, despite it being ruled as such by two international courts.
Nikolic at the time said "there was no genocide in
Srebrenica".
Until five years ago Nikolic was a top official of the
ultra-nationalist Serbian Radical Party, which has denied that Serb forces
committed crimes during the Balkans wars.
Its leader Vojislav Seselj is currently on trial for war
crimes before The Hague-based UN International Criminal Court for the former
Yugoslavia (ICTY).
While this marks Nikolic's first apology on Srebrenica,
Serbia has in the past expressed regret over the deaths.
In 2010, the Serbian parliament passed an historic
declaration condemning the Srebrenica massacre in a gesture ending years of
denial by Serbian politicians about the scale of the killings, but Nikolic at
the time did not support the move.
keep sending your du'a to them..
till next time,
may Allah bless.
