The Palestinian Scholars Association has expressed “grave concern” over the arrest and urgent deportation of its member, Sheikh Abdul Karim Raed Miqdad, from Indonesia to Cyprus, warning against his potential extradition to Israel. The association called on the Indonesian government to clarify the legal basis for his arrest and deportation, and urged Cypriot authorities to halt any extradition procedures, citing the principle of non-refoulement. They also appealed to the Palestinian Foreign Ministry, the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, the Arab League, and other governments to take urgent legal and diplomatic action, including establishing an international legal defense team. The association emphasized that handing Sheikh Miqdad over to Israeli authorities would violate international law and threaten his safety, calling for his release or transfer to a safe country.
