He was on his way back from visiting his ill mother in a hospital in Jerusalem. Abbasi's mother has been in hospital for the past 9 months as she was suffering from an issue in her liver.
According to his wife Shaima'a, the allegations under which the Palestinian activist was arrested by Israeli police are still unclear as Abbasi is now facing a confidential trial. She added that his family and his lawyer were banned from reaching him.
Palestinian activist is a well-known traveller with over 389,000 followers on Instagram. The influencer is famous for documenting life under occupation and the challenges Palestinians face every day.
