Family of prisoner Eshtayeh worried about his health condition
Picture
The family of the Palestinian prisoner in Israeli jails Musab Eshtayeh, from Salem town east of Nablus, expressed their worries about the health condition of their son and called on human rights organizations to pressure Israeli authorities for his immediate release.

Akef Eshtayeh, the captive’s father, called for offering treatment to his sick imprisoned son since he suffers from thyroid gland disorders and takes 15 pills a day.

The father held the Israeli occupation authority (IOA) responsible in full for any worsening that might occur to his son's health.

He also accused the IOA with responsibility for his son’s suffering who was infected with the gland disease in Israeli jails resulting in losing 20 kilograms of his weight at the time due to being subjected to wrong treatment during his arrest in 2014.

He served a sentence of 16 months. Israeli occupation forces arrested Eshtayeh who was working at a cell-phones shop last week after storming and wreaking havoc inside his home.

IOA slaps one-year visit ban on prisoner’s wife
Picture
The Israeli occupation authorities (IOA) on Tuesday issued a decision banning a Palestinian prisoner’s wife from visiting her husband for one year.

A PIC news correspondent said an Israeli occupation officer stopped Najwa Khanfar on her way to visit her husband Omar Sherif Khanfar, locked up in the Negev desert jail, and slapped a one-year-visit-ban against her.

The wife said she obtained a visit permit from the Israeli authorities via the Red Cross office in Jenin but as soon as she reached the Jalama checkpoint the officers rescinded the permit and updated her on the ban.

Over one-third of Palestinian prisoners’ families in Israeli jails are prevented from visiting their relatives under the security pretext.

Meanwhile, Palestinian detainee Ayyad al-Hreimi suspended his open-ended hunger strike on Tuesday evening following a deal with the Israeli prison service (IPS).

Al-Hreimi ended his hunger strike after the IPS promised to renew his detention once only and for four months. Al-Hreimi announced his hunger strike on July 16 in protest at administrative detention.

The prisoners’ health has remarkably exacerbated following 45 days of ongoing starvation in Israeli lock-ups, where he has reportedly lost 25 kilograms of his overall weight and lost his ability to speak.

Recently blood figured in his urine. Three detainees—brothers Muhammad and Mahmoud al-Balboul along with Malek al-Kadhi—continue their hunger strike in Israeli jails in protest at administrative detention.

Israeli Soldiers Kidnap Three Palestinians In Bethlehem
Picture
A number of Israeli military jeeps invaded, on Wednesday morning, the town of Beit Fajjar, south of the West Bank city of Bethlehem, and ‘Aida refugee camp, north of the city, searched homes and kidnapped three young men.

The soldiers surrounded Beit Fajjar town before invading it, conducted military searches of a number of homes and kidnapped one Palestinian.

The Bethlehem office of the Palestinian Prisoners Society (PPS) said the kidnapped resident has been identified as Yousef Luay Thawabta, 20.

The PPS added that the soldiers also invaded ‘Aida refugee camp, north of Bethlehem, searched and ransacked homes, and kidnapped two Palestinians identified as Mohammad Hamza al-Kurdi, 19, and Mohammad As’ad al-Masa’eed, 19.

The three kidnapped Palestinians were cuffed and blindfolded, before the soldiers moved them to the Etzion military base, south of Bethlehem.

Israeli Army Shuts Down Sanabel Radio In Hebron, Kidnaps Its Manager, And Four Employees
Picture
Israeli soldiers invaded, on Wednesday at dawn, the Sanabel Radio Station, in Doura city, in the southern West Bank district of Hebron, confiscated equipment, and kidnapped the station manager and four employees, before shutting the station down for three months.

The Sanabel Radio said the soldiers violently stormed the building, and ransacked it, before confiscating broadcast equipment and various electronics, and ordered it shut for three months.

The soldiers kidnapped station manager Ahmad Daraweesh, and four employees, identified as Mohammad Sous, Nidal Amro, Montaser Nassar and Hamed Nammoura.

They were all taken prisoner after the soldiers stormed their homes and searched them.

Israeli military spokesperson Avichai Adraee claimed that the station broadcasts what he called “incitement against Israel,” and that all detained employees have been moved to an interrogation center.

Amnesty International: ‘Secret trial’ of Gaza aid worker will not deliver justice
Picture
Israeli authorities must ensure that the trial of a detained humanitarian worker employed by the charity “World Vision” is fair and open, said Amnesty International on the eve of his trial, amid reports that the proceedings are due to take place in secret.

Mohammed al-Halabi, the manager of Gaza operations for the child-focused global development NGO, is facing 12 charges including being a member of a “terrorist organization” and siphoning off the charity’s funds for “terrorism” purposes.  He was initially denied access to a lawyer, according to the PNN, and, when she was eventually allowed to meet him, he alleged that he had been seriously mistreated in custody.

The lawyer is prevented from disclosing the details of that allegation, as well as many other elements of the case, by a set of severe restrictions imposed by the Israeli authorities on reporting around the case.

“Secret trials are the most flagrant violation of the right to a public hearing. Holding these court proceedings behind closed doors would render any convictions obtained unsound,” said Magdalena Mughrabi, Deputy Director of the Middle East and North Africa Programme at Amnesty International.

“The allegation of stealing money intended to help alleviate the humanitarian crisis in Gaza is extremely serious. This makes it all the more pressing to ensure that Mohammed al-Halabi’s rights are fully respected and that his trial be fair and transparent.”

According to international standards, trials can be held in secret only in exceptional circumstances. While grounds of national security may exceptionally justify closing some or all of a trial, the Israeli authorities have not put forward a case to explain why such conditions are necessary for this trial.

Israel’s security agency arrested Mohammed al-Halabi on the 15th of June, at the Erez crossing between Israel and occupied Gaza, while he was on his way back to his home in Gaza from a meeting at World Vision’s office in Jerusalem. He was transferred to a detention centre at Ashkelon, Israel, where he was interrogated before being moved to Nafcha prison, in the Negev desert.

He was not permitted to see a lawyer until July 6th, three weeks after his arrest, and therefore faced intensive interrogations without legal representation. He was not charged with a crime until 4 August, more than seven weeks after his arrest.

It has also been reported in the media that he was severely beaten and his ‘confession’ to stealing 7.4 million USD a year was obtained under duress. This appears to be a dubiously high figure, given that according to World Vision, Mohammed al-Halabi and other managers in his position only have the authority to authorize spending up to a maximum of 15,000 USD of the budget at a time and the organization’s total Gaza budget for the last decade was approximately 22.5 million USD.

“The Israeli authorities must immediately investigate the allegations that Mohammed al-Halabi was mistreated in custody and may have been forced into ‘confessing’ under duress. Any evidence obtained through torture, or other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment must be excluded from proceedings. Without independent and impartial investigations into these allegations the trial risks being fundamentally flawed,” said Magdalena Mughrabi.

Between 2001 and 2016 the Israel Security Agency has been named in almost 1,000 complaints of torture and other ill-treatment, but no criminal investigations have been opened.

Amnesty International has also learned that Israeli authorities have imposed severe reporting restrictions on Mohammed al-Halabi’s case. His lawyer said that the restrictions were exponentially more severe than any she had seen in her more than forty years of experience.

Israeli authorities have also made a number of statements that risk prejudicing the course of justice. For example, a Ministry of Foreign Affairs statement treated as fact the allegations that Mohammed al-Halabi is a member of Hamas, and stole 7.4 million USD a year.

“The Israeli authorities must cease all statements that could prejudice the outcome of the trial. Reporting allegations as fact is a violation of the presumption of innocence,” said Magdalena Mughrabi.

Mohammed al-Halabi has worked for World Vision since 2005 and was promoted to head of its operations in the Gaza Strip in 2014.

World Vision has launched an independent investigation into the allegations and suspended its humanitarian work in Gaza following his arrest. Several governments have announced the suspension of their funding to World Vision’s projects in the Occupied Palestinian Territories pending the outcome of the investigation.

Since 2007, Israeli forces have maintained an air, sea and land blockade of the Gaza Strip, which has severely restricted the movement of goods and people into and out of Gaza, and amounts to collective punishment. Egypt has also largely kept shut the border crossing in Rafah in recent years. The blockade and a series of armed conflicts between Israel and Palestinian armed groups in the last decade have left nearly 80 percent of Gaza’s population dependent on international humanitarian aid.

“The welfare of most of the civilian population in Gaza depends on effective delivery of humanitarian assistance. It is crucial that this case does not in any way impact the ability of humanitarian and development organizations such as World Vision to be able to carry out their vital work free from arbitrary restrictions, harassment or intimidation,” said Magdalena Mughrabi.

IOF kidnaps two brothers from family home, interrogates father

The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) at dawn Tuesday kidnapped two Palestinian brothers near Tubas city after they subjected their father to exhaustive questioning.
