Ramallah, August 23 (SPA) - The Palestinian President, Mahmoud Abbas, has ordered the release of 200 political prisoners detained by his security forces in the West Bank. The order comes as an act of good-will as the Muslims are marking the holy month of Ramadan, according to a report of Qatar News Agency (QNA). Abbas also said that the order comes to prepare the atmosphere for national dialogue talks, which will start in Egypt on August 25. Abbas told Egyptian security officials who visited Ramallah recently that "Fateh movement agrees to all of the demands of Hamas under the condition that Hamas agrees to presidential and legislative elections in 2010". Lieutenant Adnan Dameery, spokesperson of the Palestinian Security Forces said that the release of the political prisoners will be conducted in a legal manner. He added that dozens of prisoners were released after undergoing interrogation, and that the security forces will implement the orders of Abbas and will maintain law and order.--SPA www.spa.gov.sa/694780
