Aruri, who is a member of the Palestinian Communist Party, chose France. He said he feared for his life if sent to Lebanon, the place where Israel usually expels those it deems security risks. The other four deportees were flown by helicopter to the southern Lebanon secur-, ity zone, where they were given medical checkups and ' some money before friends drove them further north. France has consistently . condemned the deportation of Palestinian civilians from the West Bank. But Aruri's request for asylum put the French in an awkward position. To accept him could be interpreted as implicit approval of his deportation. But by turning down the request, Paris would belie its tradition of welcortiing political refugees. The French finally decided in favor of Aruri, whose request for asylum was.conveyed by the International Committee of the Red Cross. In Paris, a ranking French official told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency that the government's move "can by no means constitute a prece dent." But experts could not recall another instance of a European country granting asylum to Palestinian expelled by Israel. Aruri, who lived in El- Bireh, had been held under administrative detention, without trial or charges, for four years, from 1974 to 1978. The others deported Sunday were: • Mohammed Matur, 40, a lecturer at a nursing school, whom the Israelis say was active in the intifada in the Jerusalem-Ramallah area; •Odeh Ma'ali, a member of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine, who served a year in prison for subversion in 1984 and resumed his activities upon his release; •Magid Labadi of Abu Dis, near Jerusalem, also of the Democratic Front, who was sentenced to 15 months in jail in 1981 and was subsequently held in administrative detention. •Bilai Shakhshir of Nablus, another Democratic Front member.
