Ramallah, February 4 (RHC)-- The funeral for two Palestinian victims, whose remains were held by the Israeli regime for over a decade, has been held in the occupied West Bank. On Monday, thousands of people attended the funeral for Ayat al-Akhras, from Duheisha refugee camp, and Daoud Abu Swayy, from the village of Artas, in the West Bank town of Bethlehem.

Participants, who waved the Palestinian flag during the funeral procession, took the bodies of the victims from Beit Jala hospital to Duheisha refugee camp. The bodies were then carried to the nearby village of Artas, where they were buried in the al-Shuhada cemetery.

Akhras' mother said she was both happy and sad, noting that now that her daughter had been released from Israeli occupation, she could "visit her grave any time."

Akhras and Swayy died in 2002 and 2001, respectively. The Israeli regime, however, refused to return their bodies. According to Palestinian officials, the Israeli regime is still holding the bodies of more than two hundred Palestinians.
