Ramallah - Saba:
The Palestinian Commission of Prisoners' Affairs stated, according to its lawyer, that the Israeli occupation authorities decided to extend the detention of prisoner journalist Nasser al-Lahham and transfer him to the Ofer Military Court until next Thursday.
Israeli forces arrested al-Lahham at dawn today after raiding his home in the town of Doha in the Bethlehem Governorate and completely destroying its contents, according to the Palestinian News Agency.
The number of journalists held in administrative detention in Israeli prisons, under the pretext of a "secret file," is (22), out of (55) in Israeli prisons, including (49) who have been detained since the beginning of the genocide.
The occupation continues to target journalists through what it calls detention on the grounds of "incitement" on social media. This form of detention has become a tool to suppress freedom of opinion and expression, and has become another facet of the crime of administrative detention. The majority of those arrested on the grounds of "incitement," against whom the occupation was unable to present an indictment, were later transferred to Administrative detention.
Journalists detained in enemy prisons and camps face all the same crimes as prisoners, including systematic torture, severe beatings, starvation, and medical neglect, in addition to the ongoing humiliation and abuse they are subjected to. This is in addition to the ongoing policies of theft and deprivation against them, and their detention in harsh and degrading detention conditions.
