Amnesty International has called on Israel to immediately release a human rights defender held under Tel Aviv’s administrative detention policy for another three months, Anadolu News Agency reports.
n the morning of his expected release from Ofer military prison following a 3-months administrative detention – ie. arbitrary detention without charges or trial
Since March, the Israeli authorities have arbitrarily detained Salah Hammouri without charge or trial in an obvious attempt to muzzle his work on human rights. It is outrageous that he now has to serve yet another three months in detention.
An Israeli military court extended the administrative detention of a French citizen Salah Hamouri, who is accused of being a member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP).
We, the undersigned organizations, announce the launch of the international campaign “Justice for Salah”. The campaign aims to end the Israeli authorities’ harassment of Salah Hammouri and raise awareness about the systematic and illegal policies and practices employed against the Palestinian people.
As a group of UK-based humanitarian, development, human rights and faith organisations working to support the rights and welfare of the Palestinian people, we are gravely concerned by the arbitrary detention and ongoing harassment of Palestinian-French lawyer and human rights defender Salah Hammouri.
