[Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya د.حسام أبو صفية @HussamAbuSafiya]

A year has passed since the detention of my father,
In this white coat, he walked alone amidst death, destruction, and in front of tanks—not because he was fearless, but because his oath and his humanity were greater than any fear. He refused to abandon the children and the wounded at Hospital , and for that, he was detained.
This image is a testament to the courage of the man who was the last line of defense for life, and it is the very same scene that ended with his unjust arrest.
A full year of injustice has passed. Today, we ask for nothing but his freedom. Please share his story to keep his voice alive.

[Stories From Palestine 🇵🇸 @InesHajj9]

A harrowing account from imprisoned Palestianin journalist Farah Abu Ayyash has emerged: Her lawyer, Hassan Abadi, who recently visited her in Damon Prison, said that what she shared was not just a legal testimony, but a direct, personal description of the severe abuse she has suffered since her arrest. In the letter conveyed through her lawyer, Farah recounts: “I experienced so many horrific things.
They arrested me in the middle of the night with dozens of soldiers, two female recruits, and numerous jeeps and police vehicles. I never imagined I would be targeted. They took me to Karmeh Tzur, tied me to a chair outside, next to a pipe dripping filthy water onto me.”
She continues describing the torture: “The female soldiers tightened the white plastic restraints on my wrist so hard that my artery swelled. An officer eventually cut them off with pliers. Dogs tore at my pants. Then they put me in solitary—just a room filled with electrical boxes. They pretended not to know I was a journalist. They forced me to unlock my phone… I work with complete transparency.”

Farah describes her transfer to the Russian Compound: “It was like a horror film. They shoved me inside with handcuffs, leg shackles, and a heavy chain on my shoulders. Nahshon officers beat me. A female soldier grabbed my hair, slammed my head into the wall, and ordered me to kiss the Israeli flag. I refused. She kicked me. I was sick.”

Her voice, she says, was shaking as she added: “In Ramla, they put me in an abandoned room and turned off the light. I screamed. Then they placed me in an underground cell infested with cockroaches, insects, and bedbugs. I cried all night. Cockroaches covered my face and body. The marks are still there.”

She explains that she was later taken back to the Russian Compound, fainted multiple times from the cold, and that the transport conditions were “extremely harsh and terrifying.” After 55 days, she was moved to Damon Prison.

Expressing her disappointment in her peers, she says: “I’m hurt by my fellow journalists. They didn’t create pressure or raise their voices for my release. I was arrested because of my work. I hope every free journalist hears me.”

Farah also sends words to her family, especially her mother: “I miss you so much… I tell the girls about the ma’amoul you make. My most cherished memories are the poems you wrote for me and how I used to recite them on the radio.”

Outrageous. Intensly cruel. Agianst our ethos of #conservation (or the shreds that remain) . Unscientific 'response to human #wildlife conflict . Trap, capture & pack off 1500 #leopards from #Maharashtra to a rich man's private #zoo #Vantara?
Surely we can do better?

[Muhammad Shehada @muhammadshehad2]

Maryam was pregnant in 2021, Israel killed her husband & she gave birth to a girl

Maryam remarried earlier this year to Hatem; a widowed father whose wife & children were killed by Israel during the genocide except for one child

Israel then bombed their home, killed her daughter & Hatem's remaining son. Hatem was wounded.

Israel then killed Hatem during the ongoing "ceasefire", leaving behind Maryam pregnant & widowed again!

An average Gazan story...

This is one of the most devastating videos I’ve seen recently from the West Bank.
It shows two elderly Palestinians on their own land, simply trying to harvest their olives near Bethlehem.
An Israeli settler invades their property, blocking them from reaching their trees.
Two Israeli occupation soldiers stand by, watching as the Palestinian is assaulted by the terrorist settler. When the Palestinian tries to DEFEND HIMSELF, the soldiers join in the attack, striking the Palestinian with their rifles. They even restrain him so the terrorist settler can continue the assault, before a third terrorist soldier joins them.
This scene encapsulates decades of Palestinian suffering under occupation.

Director of Al Awda Hospital in northern Gaza, who has been freed from israeli torture camps, Dr Ahmad Muhanna, describes the circumstances of this image:

▪️ An Israeli force stormed the hospital on December 16, 2023, surrounded those inside, and demanded a list of all present individuals.

▪️ I informed the Israeli army that there were 45 children, 18 women, and 78 medical staff in addition to the hospital administration.

▪️ I was detained in a nearby house, my hands were cuffed, and my eyes blindfolded for long hours before they brought me back to the hospital amid the presence of tanks and armoured vehicles.

▪️ The medical staff and patients were forced out, and some were stripped of their clothes in the freezing cold.

▪️ Israeli occupation soldiers conducted field interrogations of patients and companions for eight hours, rejecting my requests to provide blankets for the elderly and sick.

▪️ After the interrogations, the occupation forces arrested 3 hospital staff and 2 patients.

▪️ We were transferred to a detention center, blindfolded and handcuffed, and remained for 20 days without knowing our location.

▪️ I underwent harsh interrogation sessions, including accusations and threats, alleging I treated resistance members or hid the bodies of Israeli soldiers.

▪️ The Israeli occupation army seized the hospital's cameras and possesses detailed information about the operations of the medical teams.

▪️ The interrogation included restraint, psychological torture, deprivation of sleep and food, and being left in the cold without cover in degrading and inhumane conditions.

💥I don’t know where Israeli occupation military get these evil ideas!!!

Israeli occupation forces planted small but destructive bombs on rooftops of homes in Gaza’s Al Daraj neighbourhood using quadcopter drones.

Then, they detonated them simultaneously.

@Jairam_Ramesh For sure, Mr Ramesh.
But, would you also ask @siddaramaiah why his government is denying permission to hold solidarity meetings for Palestine in Bangalore/KA and police hounding the activists-organisers who tried to have lectures/cultural programmes on Palestine?

The will of journalist Maryam Abu Daqah:

Gaith, you are your mother’s heart and soul.

I want you to pray for me and not cry over me, so I can remain happy. I want you to make me proud, to succeed, to excel, to stand strong, and to become a capable businessman, my love.

I want you, my dear, never to forget me. I always did everything to make you happy, to keep you joyful and comfortable, and to give you everything.

When you grow up, get married, and have a daughter, name her Maryam after me. You are my love, my heart, my support, my soul, and my son who always makes me proud and brings me joy with his good reputation. I entrust you, Gaith, to your prayers—your prayers, your prayers, my dear.

Your mother, Maryam.

Thus, Mumbai protest is also to break that stranglehold in asserting our commitment to the Palestinian cause. Hope a larger number of political parties and civil society organisations will spread the protest against genocide across the states.

[Subhankar @ksubho]

Notwithstanding rain, Mumbai is gathering this afternoon at the Azad Maidan in solidarity with Palestine with a call to end Israel's genocide in Gaza and settlers'/IDF violence in the occupied territories including the West Bank. +
#MumbaiWithGaza

[Subhankar @ksubho]

But the current regime, aligned with the US-Israel imperialist axis, betrayed India's long committed position on Palestine. The governments and the police across cities and towns denied permission for peaceful protests on Palestine. +

Meanwhile, the israelis are blowing up Palestinian family homes in Jenin because ‘ceasefire’ only means Gaza: they’re still killing everyone else

The last photo of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, detained after refusing to abandon his colleagues and patients.

In just one image, we see both the power of Palestinian humanity and the moral weakness of all those complicit in genocide.

End all arms sales to Israel, now.
