@Amnesty: 'Since March, the #Israeli authorities have arbitrarily detained #SalahHammouri without charge or trial in an obvious attempt to muzzle his work on #humanrights. It is outrageous that he now has to serve yet another 3 months in detention.' #freeSalahHammouri ASAP! #OPT

Another adds:
The #Israeli authorities must immediately release #humanrights defender #SalahHammouri! His #administrativedetention, which has been extended for another 3 months, is unjust! He also has to be allowed to keep his residency status in Jerusalem! @Amnesty #freeSalahHammouri

This is him as well:
“Instead of Salah Hammouri going home to his family today, he is facing another three months of incarceration,” Morayef said. “His detention could even be extended further and used against him to expedite his forcible deportation from Jerusalem,” she told Anadolu.
According to the New York-based rights group, Israel has been seeking to revoke Hammouri’s permanent resident status since September 2022 on the grounds of “breach of allegiance” to the state of Israel, putting him at risk of deportation.
Morayef also called on Israeli authorities to immediately release all those held in administrative detention “unless they are promptly charged with an internationally recognizable offence and tried in proceedings that adhere to international fair trial standards.”
