Ramallah – SABA:
The Israeli occupation court in the 1948-occupied territories has once again extended the detention of Sanaa Salama, the widow of martyr and veteran prisoner Walid Daqqa, until next Thursday to continue interrogations. The detention is allegedly related to accusations of “incitement on social media.”
This is the second court session for Salama since her arrest on May 29, 2025, while she was in Jerusalem, following a campaign of incitement against her led by Israeli extremist minister Itamar Ben Gvir, who publicly called for her deportation from the occupied territories and the revocation of her citizenship.
The Palestinian Prisoners Club reiterated that Salama’s continued detention is a political decision, reflecting the Israeli regime’s decades-long systematic retaliation against Daqqa and his family. These retaliatory actions persist even after his death, as Israel continues to withhold his body in a morgue since his martyrdom in April 2024, following 38 years in Israeli prisons, where he endured severe torture, deprivation, and medical neglect that ultimately led to his death.
It is worth noting that since the onset of the ongoing genocide, the Israeli occupation has intensified its targeting of the families of prisoners and martyrs, employing systematic terrorism, harassment, and arbitrary detention against them.
