Al-Rimawi was recently arrested for several days by the Palestinian Authority following his sermon at the funeral of political dissident Nizar Banat, who was killed by a police officer in Hebron (Al-Khalil).
Al-Rimawi was later released before going on a hunger strike after the public prosecutor transferred his detention from Ramallah to Hebron.
