Occupation forces arrest journalist Nasser Al-Laham from Bethlehem

SadaNews: Occupation forces arrested journalist Nasser Al-Laham, editor-in-chief of the Ma'an Media Network, from his home in Bethlehem today, Monday.

Occupation soldiers raided Al-Laham's house early this morning, destroyed its contents, and confiscated his computers and personal phones.

According to the Palestinian Authority for Prisoners and Released Prisoners Affairs, the Israeli occupation authorities decided to extend the detention of journalist Nasser Al-Laham and transfer him to Ofer Military Court until next Thursday.

The number of journalists administratively detained in Israeli occupation prisons, under the pretext of having a "secret file," is (22) journalists, among (55) in the occupation's prisons, of whom (49) have been detained since the beginning of the genocide.

The occupation continues to target journalists through what it refers to as arrests on the grounds of "incitement" on social media, which has transformed this form of detention into a tool for suppressing freedom of opinion and expression, representing another facet of the crime of administrative detention. The majority of those who have been arrested on the grounds of "incitement," for whom the occupation could not present an indictment, were later transferred to administrative detention.

Detained journalists in the occupation's prisons face all the crimes faced by prisoners, including systematic torture, severe beatings, starvation, medical neglect, along with continuous humiliation and abuse they are subjected to, in addition to ongoing policies of theft and deprivation against them, and being held in harsh and degrading detention conditions.
