"Hossam Abu Safiya; when a hostage sounds the alarm on behalf of thousands of detainees At certain moments, a person transcends the self, and their voice becomes the voice of an entire community. This is precisely what is happening today with Dr Hossam Abu Safiya. The man who dedicated his life to saving the sick now stands, while in the grip of his captors, as a living witness to the ordeal endured by thousands of Palestinian hostages within Israeli detention centers. His recent cry for help, conveyed by his lawyer following a visit, is not merely a personal plea; it is an alarm bell ringing on behalf of all those hidden behind walls, and for all those whose humanity is being stripped away day by day, far from the world’s gaze. As the coordinator of the Red Ribbons Campaign, I believe Dr Hossam Abu Safiya’s case imposes a twofold responsibility upon us. It is not simply the case of a renowned physician; it encapsulates the reality faced by broad segments of the Palestinian population who have become hostages in every sense of the word." https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20260709-hossam-abu-safiya-when-a-hostage-sounds-the-alarm-on-behalf-of-thousands-of-detainees/ 🪡 #palestine #HossamAbuSafiya #hostages #israel #abuse #torture #prisons #apartheid

"The Palestinian journalists held in Israel’s ‘cemeteries for the living’ Held without charge in Israeli jails, West Bank reporters describe beatings, starvation, isolation, and threats meant to force them into silence. Ali Al-Samoudi has spent four decades documenting the daily realities of life under occupation in the northern West Bank. A 60-year-old veteran Palestinian journalist from Jenin, he has worked as a correspondent for Al-Quds newspaper and as a cameraman for Al Jazeera and other international media outlets. But he is perhaps best known as the colleague of Shireen Abu Akleh, whom Israeli forces shot and killed during a raid on Jenin refugee camp in May 2022. Standing beside Abu Akleh, Al-Samoudi was also shot that day in the back; the bullet exited cleanly through his shoulder. On April 29, 2025, Israeli forces raided Al-Samoudi’s home in Jenin at dawn and arrested him. He was held without charge or trial, before being released almost a year to-the-day later, on April 30, 2026." .,,.,.,., https://www.972mag.com/palestinian-journalists-cemeteries-for-the-living/ #journalists #journalism #press #palestine #israel #prisons #prisoners #apartheid #hostages
