Gaza - Saba:
The Palestinian Prisoners' Media Office reported on Tuesday, that the Beersheba Court of the Zionist enemy authorities decided to confirm the detention order of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in the northern Gaza Strip, as an illegal combatant for a period of six months.
This decision comes after the commander of the southern region in the enemy army, Major General Yaron Finkelman, issued, on February 12, 2025, an order to transfer Dr. Abu Safiya to detention under the "illegal combatant" law, instead of trying him through the normal legal procedures.
It is noteworthy that the enemy forces arrested Dr. Abu Safiya on December 28, 2024, during their storming of Kamal Adwan Hospital, where more than 350 people who were inside the hospital at the time were arrested.
According to Al Mezan Center for Human Rights, the transfer of Dr. Abu Safiya to detention under the "illegal combatant" law is an arbitrary , dangerous measure, and proves the failure of the public prosecution to prove its allegations and accusations against the detainee.
The illegal Combatant Law allows enemy authorities to detain individuals without specific charges or a fair trial, in violation of international human rights laws and norms.
