Her father, Jamal, who had spent 20 months held in administrative detention – without charge or trial – in 2019, went on hunger strike to protest his daughter’s illegal detention.
Al-Taweel, 27, is a Palestinian journalist and activist who documents the continued violations committed by Israel against Palestinian prisoners, MEMO noted.
Al-Taweel has spent several terms inside Israeli jails in 2011, 2014 and 2017.
“Administrative detention is Israel’s go-to legal proceeding when it simply wants to mute the voices of Palestinian political activists but lacks any concrete evidence that can be presented in an open, military court,” wrote Palestinian journalist and editor of The Palestine Chronicle, Ramzy Baroud.
