Return to Jaffa |
Posted on November 12, 2000
Nasir, Hanna
academic
1936- Jaffa
Hanna Nasir studied at the American University of Beirut before receiving a Ph.D. in
nuclear physics at Purdue University in the United States. Beginning in 1972, he served as the founding president of BIR ZEIT UNIVERSITY. Cousin of the PALESTINE LIBERATION ORGANIZATION (PLO) spokesman Kamal Nasir, who was
assassinated in Beirut by Israeli agents in 1973, Nasir was perceived as a moderate pro-PLO figure in the WEST BANK.
When pro-PLO demonstrations broke out at Bir Zeit after the November 1974 appearance of the PLO chairman, YASIR ARAFAT, at the United Nations, Israeli authorities arrested Nasir and four others whom they accused of inciting the protests and of associating with
illegal organizations, a reference to the underground Palestine National Front.
Deported to Lebanon, Nasir made his way to Amman, Jordan, where he retained his position as president of Bir Zeit University and worked out of its liaison office. From 1981 to 1984, Nasir also served on the PLO executive committee and, for a time, as head of the PALESTINIAN NATIONAL FUND.
Israel allowed Nasir to return along with twenty-four other deportees in May 1993, whereupon he resumed his duties at Bir Zeit University.
