Zionist enemy issues six-month administrative detention order against Palestinian journalist
Ramallah - Saba: The Zionist enemy intelligence issued on Thursday a six-month administrative detention order against Palestinian journalist Ali al-Samoudi, 58, from Jenin. The Palestinian Prisoners' Affairs Commission and the Palestinian Prisoners' Club stated that al-Samoudi was subjected to abuse following his arrest on April 29. He was initially detained in a military barracks in Jenin, then transferred to the Jalameh detention center and later to Megiddo prison, where he is currently being held. The Commission and the Club noted in a statement issued Thursday that "the arrest of Al-Samoudi and his transfer to administrative detention comes amid the enemy's continued escalation in targeting journalists through arrests, specifically through the systematic policy of administrative detention, which constitutes the most prominent crime that witnessed a historic transformation after the genocide, or through arrests based on what the occupation claims is (incitement). The statement held the enemy responsible for the life and fate of journalist Al-Samoudi, who suffers from numerous health problems and previous injuries, especially with his continued detention in Megiddo Prison, which is a symbol of systematic medical crimes, along with many other systematic crimes that have been a central reason for the deaths of many prisoners and detainees. It indicated that the number of journalists administratively detained in enemy prisons has risen to (20) journalists, who are among (50) journalists the enemy continues to detain since the beginning of the genocide crime. It noted that this data only includes those arrested after the genocide, noting that there are six journalists detained before the genocide. Whatsapp Telegram Email

Number of detained journalists rise to 49 since starting Israeli aggression on Gaza
Occupied al-Quds- Saba: The Palestinian Prisoners' Club announced that the number of journalists detained in Israeli occupation prisons has risen to 49 since the start of the aggression on October 7, 2023, following the arrest of journalist Ali al-Samoudi from Jenin this morning. The club said in a statement that the 49 detained journalists are among (177) male and female journalists who have been arrested and detained since the beginning of the genocide, based on documentation and monitoring conducted by institutions. The club explained that the occupation authorities continue to escalate their targeting of Palestinian journalists through systematic arrests, in addition to daily targeting of journalists while performing their work. It pointed out that the assassinations of journalists in Gaza continue, during what is the bloodiest period for journalists, in an ongoing attempt to target the truth and the Palestinian narrative. The club confirmed that the occupation authorities in the West Bank target journalists through administrative detention, under the pretext of having a "secret file." They number (19) of the total number of detained journalists. The most recent individuals to receive administrative detention orders were journalists Samer Khweira and Ibrahim Abu Safia. It added that the occupation is targeting them through arrests based on what it calls "incitement," meaning that they are being detained on the basis of freedom of opinion and expression. Social media platforms have become a tool for suppressing journalists and imposing increased control and censorship over their work. The club pointed out that journalists are subjected to all the systematic crimes faced by detainees, including starvation, medical crimes, torture, and numerous forms of abuse. The Prisoners' Club renewed its call for the international human rights system to restore its true and necessary role and end the systematic impotence that has cast a shadow over the humanitarian system since the beginning of the genocide, one of the most prominent aspects of which are the crimes committed against detainees in Israeli prisons and camps. The club called for ensuring the protection of journalists and their work, which has been the most prominent tool in revealing the extent of the genocide crimes. The club noted that the arrests include those who were detained and kept in detention by the occupation, as well as those who were later released. It is worth noting that the Israeli occupation continues to detain dozens of journalists in Gaza under the "Unlawful Combatant" Law, some of whom remain subject to enforced disappearance.
