Join the protest called by Palestine 45, UJFP, Mouvement de la Paix, OLP, NPA, PCF and others to demand freedom for French-Palestinian human rights defender Salah Hamouri, who has been ordered to imprisonment without charge or trial under Israeli administrative detention.
Call on the French state to take action to defend the rights of their citizen, especially prior to the hearing to confirm his administrative detention on 5 September.
Protesters in New York City gathered outside the Best Buy electronics store in Union Square to demand freedom for jailed Palestinian Nael Barghouthi, the longest-held Palestinian prisoner in Israeli jails. They also urged the boycott of Hewlett-Packard (HP) electronics like computers, tablets, printers, accessories and ink due to the corporation’s involvement in the imprisonment of Palestinians and other aspects of Israeli apartheid.
Participants distributed information to passers-by and Best Buy shoppers about the growing international campaign to boycott HP products. An increasing number of churches and labor unions are becoming “HP-free zones” in protest of the global electronics corporation’s profiteering from Israeli apartheid. HP doesn’t only provide database systems to the Israel Prison Service; it is integrally involved in the creation of the ID card and checkpoint system used to control Palestinian movement and enforce apartheid as well as in IT services to the Israeli occupation military, including naval forces imposing siege on Gaza.
The protest, organized by Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network, highlighted the case of Nael Barghouthi, 59, from the Palestinian village of Kobar in the occupied West Bank of Palestine. He has spent over 36 years in Israeli prisons. Released in 2011 in the Wafa al-Ahrar prisoner exchange, he was detained once more in a roundup of dozens of former prisoners in 2014 in an attempt to pressure the Palestinian resistance. Many of these prisoners have had their original sentences reimposed.
Barghouthi was ordered to a 30-month sentence; however, he was not released on schedule because of a pending appeal for a higher sentence by the Israeli military prosecution. On 22 February, his prior sentence of life imprisonment plus 18 years, for involvement in Palestinian resistance actions in the 1970s, was reimposed. His wife, a fellow former prisoner, Iman Nafie, has pledged to keep escalating the struggle for his immediate release.
Protesters also found themselves engaged in conversation to express support for U.S. held Black liberation prisoners like Dr. Mutulu Shakur. Imprisoned since 1986, Shakur was a struggler for civil rights and Black liberation for decades, accused of involvement in bank robberies and other actions to support the Black Liberation movement in the United States and free imprisoned struggler Assata Shakur. Today, within U.S. prisons, Dr. Mutulu Shakur is a member of the New African People’s Organization and the Malcolm X Grassroots Movement. Samidoun activists joined Black passers-by who raised the case with protesters in calling together for freedom for Dr. Shakur and all of the political prisoners held in U.S. jails.
As in Barghouthi’s case, Shakur is a long-held political prisoner who was scheduled for release – later denied arbitrarily by the U.S. government as he remains imprisoned. He was set for release on 10 February 2016, but instead was only scheduled for a parole hearing on 4 April 2016. “Dr. Mutulu Shakur is being illegally detained in Federal prison beyond his release date because of his past and ongoing contributions to the human rights, self-determination and liberation of not only his nation New Afrika, but to the freedom and justice for all oppressed peoples,” wrote MXGM.
The participants in the action also expressed their congratulations to Samidoun activist Nick Maniace, who had been unjustly and illegally arrested by the NYPD at the Al-Quds Day protest on 23 June for chanting “Free Palestine” through a megaphone. The ticket and charges were never presented in court because the police failed to provide “legally acceptable” documentation.
This is only the latest incident in an ongoing pattern of NYPD repression of Palestine demonstrations, including assaulting protesters and illegal arrests. Of course, this comes on top of the police department’s lengthy history of racial profiling and intense spying on Arab and Muslim communities, and its violent record of attacks, repression and racism targeting, in particular, New York’s Black and Latinx communities.
Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network will continue to organize actions and events in coming weeks to support freedom for the nearly 6,200 Palestinian political prisoners in Israeli jails and the liberation of Palestine’s land and people, including the return of millions of Palestinian refugees in exile and diaspora.
The Association France-Palestine Solidarity, together with the other organizations of the National Collective for a Just and Sustainable Peace between Palestinians and Israelis (CNPJDPI) calls for a rally for the release of Salah Hamouri.
The rally will take place on Thursday, 31 August at 4:30 pm at Invalides, in front of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, where AFPS has requested a delegation be received at 5 pm.
The call is based on the AFPS statement of 29 August, as below:
Salah Hamouri: France must act urgently for his release
Arrested on 23 August by the Israeli army of occupation for no reason, Salah Hamouri, a French-Palestinian citizen, has been ordered to 6 months of administrative detention. While Salah Hamouri’s release conditions were under discussion at the court hearing this morning (Tuesday, 29 August), a six-month administrative detention order was requested by Israeli government officials. We see that the separation of powers is an unknown concept of this state which claims to be the only democracy in the Near and Middle East.
Administrative detention is one of the weapons used by the Israeli authorities to keep Palestinians in prison without having to provide any justification, even a pretext. The “secret file” remains unknown to the accused and his lawyers. Indefinitely renewable for up to six months at a time, it can be used to hold a person in prison infinitely without any charge ever being laid againstcan keep an opponent indefinitely in prison without any charge being meant to him. Thus, dozens of Palestinian political prisoners have spent several years in prison without knowing the reasons for their detention.
Despite the strong mobilization for his release, we do not know whether the French authorities intervened at the level of the State and the government. To date, no public statements have been made. Could we know why a French-Palestinian lawyer imprisoned in Israel would not be given the same consideration as other French detainees abroad?
The court has 48 hours, that is, until Thursday, to confirm or contest this request from the Israeli government.
We call on our fellow citizens to continue to act firmly, quickly and relentlessly! To demand that the French authorities assume their responsibilities.
We once again call upon the President of the French Republic and the Minister for Foreign Affairs to intervene with determination in a strong, visible and public way vis-à-vis the Israeli government and its representation in France so that our fellow citizen is freed.
Palestinian prisoner Thaer Halahleh, held without charge or trial under an Israeli administrative detention order, is boycotting the Israeli military courts and has been doing so since he was rearrested on 27 April 2017. Halahleh has spent over nine years in Israeli prison, including 6 1/2 years in administrative detention, jailed without charge or trial, according to the Palestinian Prisoners’ Society.
Several days ago, his administrative detention was renewed for another four months, his second since he was seized by occupation forces on 27 April. His lawyer, Mahmoud al-Halabi, said that the number of administrative detainees who refuse to attend the military courts has escalated, especially among those who have spent years in administrative detention.
The orders are issued on the basis of secret evidence and are indefinitely renewable, so Palestinians can spend years at a time held without charge or trial. In Halahleh’s case, he has spent the majority of the past five years in Israeli prisons, with only a few months’ break between his release and a new seizure by occupation forces, only to find himself imprisoned once again with no charges against him and not even the opportunity for a military court trial. He was most recently released in October 2016 before being seized again in April 2017; had been imprisoned without charge or trial since July 2014. Prior to that arrest, he had been released in May 2014 after being held without charge or trial since April 2013.
Halahleh, 35, suffers from Hepatitis C, contracted during a dental operation in Israeli prisons where improper sterilization was used. During his previous imprisonment, Halahleh was denied family visits with his wife and children for seven months, and received only painkillers as treatment for his illness. He previously won his release from an earlier administrative detention in 2012 with a 77-day hunger strike. There are currently nearly 500 Palestinians held without charge or trial, out of approximately 6,200 Palestinian political prisoners in total in Israeli jails.
The use of administrative detention has been widely noted to have grown in August, including its use against both Palestinian youth under 18 as well as Palestinian citizens of Israel. On Sunday, 27 August, the central court in Haifa extended the administrative detention order against Alaa Tawil Jabarin, 22, from Umm al-Fahm, a Palestinian citizen of Israel, for our more months. This is the sixth detention of young Palestinians from ’48 occupied Palestine under administrative detention, without charge or trial, in recent months.
A number of lawyers and political leaders of Palestinian organizations in ’48 Palestine have urged attention to the growing use of administrative detention, especially under the pretext of social media postings.
Meanwhile, Palestinian minors like Nour Issa, 16, are also being held under administrative detention. He is not alone; there are 320 Palestinian child prisoners currently held in Israeli jails and dozens of Palestinian teens have been subjected to imprisonment without charge or trial in the past year.
Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network salutes Thaer Halahleh and his fellow administrative detainees for their boycott of the occupation military courts and demands the immediate release of all Palestinians held without charge or trial and the abolition of administrative detention, as well as the release of all Palestinians in Israeli jails.

Palestinian student Baraa al-Amer, former prisoner held in Israeli jails and a trainee at the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor, is currently being detained by the Palestinian Authority’s intelligence service, reported his family. Al-Amer is apparently the latest Palestinian to be detained for posting critical commentary about the Palestinian Authority leadership on his social media and Facebook accounts and pursued for prosecution or detention under the widely-criticized“Electronic Crimes Law.” He has announced that he is engaged in an open hunger strike.
Baraa al-Amer is the son of journalist Nawaf al-Amer, who told Quds News that his son had been beaten during his seizure by the security forces and that his lawyer had witnessed bruises on his body and other injuries due to his ill-treatment and abuse at the hands of PA security forces. These are the same security forces responsible for security coordination with the Israeli occupation against Palestinian activists and ressitance figures and organizations.
Al-Amer said that the Palestinian public prosecution had actually rejected charges against his son for his Facebook posts and ordered him released, only for the PA intelligence agencies to refuse to release him and continue to detain him. He said that this is a personal attempt at retaliation from PA intelligence officials and urged human rights activists to call for Baraa al-Amer’s release.
For its part, EuroMed denounced the arrest of its trainee Baraa al-Amer; the institution has been vocal on the subject of the repression of Palestinian freedom of expression via the “Electronic Crimes Law.” EuroMed noted that it is “closely monitoring the ongoing arbitrary detention of its trainee in law, An-Najah University law student Baraa al-Amer, for the third consecutive day, despite the decision of the Palestinian public prosecutor to release him.” EuroMed noted their concern that the reason al-Amer is not being released is because of the visible bruising and injuries on his body noted by his lawyer.
Al-Amer was arrested alongside seven more students at An-Najah University, all fellow student activists; the university semester only began one week ago.
Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network strongly denounces the arrest of Baraa al-Amer and demands his immediate release and the release of all political detainees. In addition, we join and support the Palestinian calls to cancel the dangerous and unlawful “Electronic Crimes Law” and the ongoing attacks on Palestinian websites, journalists and activists.
This law is particularly chilling in light of the ongoing Israeli targeting of Palestinian journalists, writers and organizers for expressing their opinion on social media and the context of PA security coordination with the Israeli occupation. We also join our voices with Palestinian organizations and activists demanding an end to Palestinian Authority security coordination with the Israeli occupation, the clear context of the political detentions of Baraa al-Amer, Ahmed Abdel-Aziz and other voices of conscience.
Israeli occupation forces seized Palestinian singer Mohammed Barghouthi, composer Naji al-Rimawi and musician Nazzal Barghouthi from their homes in the town of Beit Rima near Ramallah in the pre-dawn hours of Wednesday, 30 August.
The seizure of the musicians seems to come in retaliation for their song about Omar al-Abed, the Palestinian prisoner who carried out an armed operation at the Halamish illegal settlement in July, killing three Israeli settlers. The song has been performed at many weddings in the area over the summer.
Nazzal Barghouthi
Al-Abed’s family in the Ramallah-area village of Kobar has been subject to intense collective punishment, including the imprisonment of his mother, father and brother and the demolition of their family home. The village itself has been subject to a series of raids and violent attacks by Israeli occupation forces.
Occupation forces ransacked Barghouthi’s home and attacked his father, who was taken to hospital after his son was seized. They also confiscated his archive of music, songs and performance recordings.
Seriously injured Palestinian prisoners Raed al-Salhi and Abdel-Aziz Arafa remained imprisoned by the Israeli occupation. Both Salhi and Arafa are Palestinian refugee youth from Dheisheh refugee camp; they were attacked by Israeli occupation forces invading the camp on 9 August and severely injured by the occupation troops, who fired live bullets on them.
Raed al-Salhi remains dependent on a ventilator for respiration in Hadassah Hospital, while Arafa was brought to the Ofer military court on 29 August on a hospital bed.
The military court ordered the detention of Arafa, who was shot in the leg by live Israeli bullets during the invasion of their refugee camp, extended until 9 October. Following the hearing, Arafa was transferred to the Ramle prison clinic. His lawyer, Karim Ajwa of the Prisoners’ Affairs Commission, said that the Ramle clinic lacks the minimum standards of life necessary to treat prisoners effectively, worsening their conditions. Arafa has had an metal bar implanted in his leg and will need to have future surgery to remove the bars and further reconstruct his leg.
Salhi is suffering from damage to his kidneys as well as to his liver and thighs, and is suffering from pneumonia as well, according to Ajwa. As Salhi struggles to survive, his family members have so far been denied permits to visit him on the pretext that his interrogation was continuing – even as al-Salhi was sedated and in a coma. He is being held under strict security guards at the hospital despite his severe health situation in intensive care.
“All of the family’s attempts to obtain a permit to visit have failed. The occupation authorities are preventing all members of his family from visiting him to check on his health. The last attempt was several weeks ago by his mother, who suffers from several diseases herself and cannot sleep due to her worry,” said Khaled al-Salhi, Raed’s brother, to Quds News.
Salah Hamouri, French-Palestinian human rights defender and activist, was ordered to six months imprisonment without charge or trial under an Israeli administrative detention order on Tuesday, 29 August. The order, which is indefinitely renewable, will expire on 22 February 2018, reported Addameer Prisoner Support and Human Rights Association, where Hamouri, 32, is a field researcher.
The order came less than half an hour after the Jerusalem Magistrate’s Court had ordered him to be released on conditions; he had already received a decision ordering him to house arrest in Reineh, a village in the north of occupied Palestine ’48 for 20 days, followed by a three-month ban from entering Jerusalem, his home city, or traveling outside Palestine. He was ordered to pay 10,000 NIS bail ($2794) USD and receive third-party guarantees of his house arrest.
However, when his family arrived promptly at the Moskobiyeh interrogation center to pay the bail for his release, they were informed that he was instead being ordered to administrative detention, Israeli imprisonment without charge or trial. Israel has continued and expanded the practice of administrative detention introduced in Palestine by British colonial powers during the Mandate era and tens of thousands of Palestinians have been jailed without charge or trial under Israeli occupation orders.
As Hamouri is a Jerusalemite Palestinian, the order for his imprisonment without charge or trial came directly from the Minister of Defense, the extreme right, racist Israeli politician Avigdor Lieberman. Lieberman is known for his advocacy of “transfer” of Palestinian citizens of Israel, advocacy for mass killing in Gaza and calling for the execution of Palestinian prisoners.
Administrative detention orders are indefinitely renewable, and Palestinians have spent years at a time held without charge or trial under repeatedly renewed detention orders. Hamouri is not alone among his colleagues; Addameer’s Arabic media coordinator, journalist Hasan Safadi, has been jailed without charge or trial since May 2016. Addameer board member and former Executive Director Khalida Jarrar, today a member of the Palestinian Legislative Council, was seized and ordered to six months in administrative detention on 2 July 2016. There are currently approximately 500 Palestinians held without charge or trial out of nearly 6,200 total Palestinian political prisoners in Israeli jails.
Salah Hamouri is a former Palestinian prisoner who was released in 2011 as part of the Wafa al-Ahrar prisoner exchange. During his prior detention, he was the subject of a large campaign throughout France by Palestine activists, leftist organizations and defenders of human rights, demanding that the French state act for the freedom of their citizen. The video below, by Chris DenHond, shows an action in the Council of Paris by EuroPalestine activists in 2009, when that very council was honoring occupation soldier Gilad Shalit, then captured by the Palestinian resistance in Gaza, while remaining silent on the imprisonment of Hamouri.
Since his release, Hamouri and his family have been subjected to repeated, repressive actions by the Israeli occupation. Hamouri’s pregnant wife, Elsa Lefort, was denied entry to Palestine and remains banned from entering her husband’s homeland with their child. He has been banned from traveling to the West Bank, including while he was in the process of completing a law degree that would require him to breach the ban. Indeed, this latest arrest comes only three days after he passed the Palestinian bar exam on 20 August to practice professionally as a lawyer in Palestinian courts.
Addameer wrote, “This arrest and decision is but one in a list of many, where the occupying power has attempted to stifle the legitimate pursuit of Palestinian human rights and basic dignity. For those who dare to speak up against this oppressive colonial regime, arbitrary detainment awaits….For human rights defenders, there are two choices. Give up on your cause, or accept the life of constant punishment. It is not an easy choice to make. Salah could easily leave, live in France, and have a quiet life with his wife and child. Though, he stays as an example for us all. He remains in to the place of his birth and struggles for those who the occupation seeks to reduce from humans to subjects. For the assertion that he, and the people he serves, are human, the occupation ensures that he pays the price.”
Salah’s wife, Elsa Lefort, and mother, Denise Hamouri, posted updates on Facebook:
Hamouri has been an international representative of the Palestinian cause and the prisoners’ struggle, speaking at the World Social Forum in Brazil, large events across France (including the main stage at Fete de l’Humanite) and Israeli Apartheid Week in Belgium in February 2017, among many others.
Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network reiterates its urgent demand for the immediate release of Salah Hamouri and all Palestinian prisoners and call for the French state to defend the rights of their citizen and take action for Salah Hamouri’s freedom. It is no less critical now; it must be made clear that it is unacceptable to imprison Hamouri – or any other Palestinian – without charge or trial. This is clearly an attempt on the part of the Israeli state to target an effective, local and international human rights defender working for Palestinian freedom.
The French state must take real action to demand freedom for Salah Hamouri, the Palestinian human rights defender. From the jails and the courts of the occupation to the cities and campuses of the world, he is a consistent and clear voice against oppression and for liberation. Free Salah Hamouri! Libérez Salah Hamouri!

While the human rights violators and the torturers of the Palestinian people are still at large, the Israeli occupation forces continues to illegally raid Palestinian homes and detain them under administrative detention, without charge or trial.
Salah Hamouri, a French-Palestinian dual citizen and a field researcher of a Palestinian civil institution that supports the Palestinian political prisoners detained in Israeli occupation jails; Addameer, was arrested in a raid last August 23, 2017 from his home in Kufr Aqab, Palestine. In 2004 Hamouri was arrested and imprisoned for seven years, he was released during Wafa al-Ahrar exchange deal in 2011. Upon his release, he was banned from entering the West Bank until 2016 while his wife Elsa Lefort is banned from entering Palestine.
The IOF is infamous for its policy to renew administrative detention orders every 6 months, this administrative detention could last from months to years. The IOF is also infamous for torturing and hiding prisoners and it is the likes of Hamouri and Addameer who advocate for their rights and join their trials, if there are any. Furthermore, those advocating for these human rights are being arrested and vilified by the Israeli apartheid state and its allies.
When the Palestinian Authority works with the Israeli occupying forces in arresting Palestinian activists,
The right to self-determination is protected by international law, a right that is constantly denied to Palestinians by the brutal repression of the Israeli occupation. The IOF is one of the biggest human rights violators. Those like Hamouri who struggle for the justice, rights and freedom of the Palestinian people against the Zionist settler-colonial project are arrested; tortured; imprisoned; shot; tear-gassed; their families threatened; houses demolished. All realms and levels of Palestinian resistance is subject to the ruthless repression of the occupation forces.
The Student for Justice in Palestine / Studenten voor Rechtvardigheid in Palestina delegation to Palestine condemns the illegal raid and arrest of Salah Hamouri. We condemn the illegal arrests of the Palestinian political prisoners and the torture inside the Israeli occupation jails they are facing.
Hamouri was taken to a Russian compound, Al-Moskobyeh interrogation centre. His detention is extended until Sunday, August 27, 2017 for further interrogation.
We demand the immediate and safe release of Salah Hamouri. We demand his rights to be respected, including the right to counsel. We demand that the French government work to securing his prompt release. We demand that he will not be vilified as criminal or terrorist.
We demand an end to the Israeli occupation of Palestine!
French-Palestinian human rights defender and re-arrested former prisoner Salah Hamouri was ordered to three more days under interrogation at the Jerusalem Magistrate’s Court on Sunday, 27 August. Palestinian lawyer Mahmoud Hassan, with Addameer Prisoner Support and Human Rights Association – where Hamouri is a field researcher – submitted an appeal against the decision. Hamouri has already been held under interrogation at the Moskobiyeh interrogation center for five days since he was seized from his home in the Jerusalem-area village of Kufr Aqab in a pre-dawn raid by Israeli occupation forces on 23 August.
His wife, Elsa Lefort, denied entry to Palestine while pregnant and banned by the Israeli occupation, posted to Facebook urging action by the French government and greater mobilization for his freedom:

Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network reiterates its urgent demand for the immediate release of Salah Hamouri and all Palestinian prisoners and call for the French state to defend the rights of their citizen and take action for Salah Hamouri’s freedom.
This is only latest act of repression and intimidation carried out by the Israeli state against Hamouri. After six years in Israeli prison amid an extensive grassroots campaign in France for his freedom, Hamouri pursued studying law in order to advocate for fellow prisoners. On 20 August – just days before his arrest – he had just passed the Palestinian bar examination.
He has been an international representative of the Palestinian cause and the prisoners’ struggle, speaking at the World Social Forum in Brazil, large events across France (including the main stage at Fete de l’Humanite) and Israeli Apartheid Week in Belgium in February 2017, among many others.
Organizations and parliamentarians across France are mobilizing to demand Hamouri’s freedom once again and to pressure the French government to take action on this case. The French state must take real action to demand freedom for Salah Hamouri, the Palestinian human rights defender. From the jails and the courts of the occupation to the cities and campuses of the world, he is a consistent and clear voice against oppression and for liberation. Free Salah Hamouri! Libérez Salah Hamouri!
Monsieur le Consul, ou Monsieur le Ministre des affaires étrangères ou Monsieur le Président de la République,
Je viens d’apprendre l’arrestation de Salah Hamouri par le message de son épouse Elsa Lefort, retranscrit ci-dessous :
“Salah Hamouri a été arrêté cette nuit à notre domicile de Jérusalem-Est par l’armée d’occupation venue en grand nombre le cueillir dans son sommeil. Comme souvent, les autorités militaires ne donnent aucun motif à cette arrestation et nous n’avons que peu d’informations au sujet de sa détention, il n’a pu contacter personne. Nous demandons à la France d’agir avec conviction pour protéger et obtenir la libération de notre concitoyen qui subit une fois de plus l’arbitraire israélien.”
L’arrestation de notre concitoyen est inadmissible et insupportable. Les autorités françaises ne doivent pas laisser passer une telle infamie.
Je vous demande d’œuvrer dès aujourd’hui, au nom de la France, pour la libération de Monsieur Salah Hamouri.
Veuillez agréer, Monsieur, l’expression de ma haute considération.
English translation:
Dear Consul (or Minister of Foreign Affairs, or President of the Republic)
I have learned of the arrest of Salah Hamouri through the message of his wife, Elsa Lefort, below:
“Salah Hamouri was arrested last night at our home in East Jerusalem by the occupying army who had come to take him in his sleep. As often occurs, the military authorities gave no reason for the arrest. We are calling upon France to act with conviction to protect and obtain the release of our fellow citizen who is once again subjected to Israeli arbitrary practices.”
The arrest of our fellow citizen is unacceptable and unbearable. The French authorities must not allow such infamous behavior to pass.
I ask you to act today, on behalf of France, for the release of Mr. Salah Hamouri.
Please accept the assurance of my highest consideration.
Join the protest called by Palestine 45, UJFP, Mouvement de la Paix, OLP, NPA, PCF and others to demand freedom for French-Palestinian human rights defender Salah Hamouri, who has been ordered to imprisonment without charge or trial under Israeli administrative detention.
