Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya was arbitrarily detained on 27 December 2024 by the Israeli military when they raided Kamal Adwan hospital in Mashrou’ Beit Lahiya. Since then, he has been held without charges or trial, under orders that have been indefinitely renewed based on the Unlawful Combatants Law.
On 28 April 2026 an Israeli District Court approved the extension of Abu Safiya’s arbitrary detention under the Unlawful Combatant Law without filing any charges against him.
On 16 June 2026 Israel’s Supreme Court rejected Dr. Abu Safiya’s appeal for his immediate release, upholding the continuation of his arbitrary detention until at least October 2026.
Since 3 June 2026 Abu Safiya is held in solitary confinement exceeding the 15 consecutive days permitted under the Nelson Mandela Rules, which violates the prohibition of torture and other ill-treatment. Authorities are also denying him appropriate care for his health conditions.
@Amnesty is calling for his immediate release. The international community must apply maximum pressure on the Israeli authorities.
A Tunis court has sentenced Sihem Bensedrine, a prominent human rights defender and former president of the Truth and Dignity Commission, to a total of 25 years in prison and a heavy fine, apparently in retaliation for her work. https://t.co/r94A3Ge5E2
Congress must re-establish asylum protections and Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for the 1.3 million people that the Supreme Court’s latest rulings now endanger. The rulings empower the Trump administration to send protected people from 17 countries including Haiti and Syria back into danger - a clear violation of international law. Instead of doubling down on racist and anti-immigrant practices and policies, the United States should be restoring access to asylum at the border and creating an immigration system that is fair and rooted in human rights.

“I was a doctor when they took me, and I am a doctor now that I have returned.
My commitment to my patients remains the one thing they could not take away.”
Dr. Ahmad Mhanna, former director of Al-Awda Hospital in northern Gaza, shares his harrowing testimony of survival.
In the occupied Gaza Strip, Palestinian healthcare workers have been facing unprecedented dangers, with many detained by Israeli forces under conditions that violate international humanitarian law.
Amnesty International continues to document these systemic abuses, including Israel’s widespread use of torture and other ill-treatment against Palestinian detainees, while demanding the immediate and unconditional release of all those arbitrarily detained.

Amnesty International condemns the arbitrary executions of January 2026 protesters Mehrdad Mohammadinia & Ashkan Maleki on 1 June after a grossly unfair trial by a Revolutionary Court. We are horrified by the political executions of at least 41 people in Iran since 28 Feb. 1/4
Iranian authorities are using the cover of what they call “wartime conditions” to intensify repression of dissent through mass arbitrary arrests, accelerated grossly unfair judicial proceedings, politically motivated executions, harsh prison sentences and asset confiscation.

On 27 December 2024, the Israeli military raided Kamal Adwan hospital in Mashrou’ Beit Lahiya and arbitrarily detained its director, Dr Hussam Abu Safiya, along with other medical staff and patients.
On 28 April 2026, an Israeli court, once again, extended Dr. Abu Safiya’s detention under the Unlawful Combatant Law without filing any charges against him.
The destruction of Gaza’s health sector is a key tactic in Israel’s genocide against the Palestinian people.
Join us to demand the release of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya and all detained health workers now.

Some of the tools currently used by Israel’s military as they commit genocide have been provided by US software company Palantir.
Since 2023 Palantir has had a £330 million contract with NHS England.
Because of its contribution to human rights abuses, including the ongoing genocide, our message is clear: No Palantir in our NHS.
Zahra Shahbaz Tabari is under sentence of death & at grave risk of execution in Iran following an unfair trial in relation to her real or perceived links with banned opposition groups. Amid rising arbitrary executions, urgent diplomatic action is needed to halt executions. 1/2
