The Center for Women’s Legal Researches, Counselling and Protection (CWLRCP) Mourns the Loss of Palestinian Leader and Activist, Abdul Aziz Shahin “Abu Ali Shahin”

The Center for Women’s Legal Researches, Counselling and Protection (CWLRCP) in Gaza mourns to the masses of our Palestinian people the passing of the great national activist and one of the founders of the Palestinian National Liberation Movement (Fatah), the leader: Abdul Aziz Shahin “Abu Ali Shahin.”

He passed away at dawn today, Tuesday, March 28, 2013, after a long battle with illness. The years of the deceased “Abu Ali Shahin” were entirely a journey of struggle. He was a courageous activist in the ranks of Fatah and the Palestinian Revolution. He also spent fifteen years in the prisons of the Zionist occupation, during which he was a school of steadfastness, where many struggling prisoners were educated by him. The Center for Women’s Legal Researches, Counselling and Protection (CWLRCP), represented by its board of directors and all its employees, extends its deepest condolences to the family of the deceased, all his lovers and friends, and to the brothers in the Palestinian National Liberation Movement (Fatah). The Center also believes that despite the physical departure of this leader, he will remain a bright page in the history of the Palestinian national struggle.
