Palestinian activist detained by Israeli army is hospitalised
A Palestinian activist who documented settler violence in the occupied West Bank has been detained and hospitalised. Lawyer Riham Nasra said activist Ayman Ghrayeb Odeh was taken to a hospital after his detention at a military base in the Jordan Valley.
“Israeli authorities refuse to reveal where he is, what his condition is, or why he has been hospitalised,” she said.
Shin Bet, Israel’s security agency, confirmed the activist was detained on incitement charges. Odeh could face indefinite administrative detention, a punishment without charge or a trial based on secret evidence.
His brother, Bilal Ghrayeb, said he spoke briefly with Odeh shortly after his detention while he was visiting a Palestinian family in the Jordan Valley. His brother said the military confiscated Odeh’s phone, and he has not heard from him since.
“He is an activist who posts photos and writes on social media about what is happening. He is not inciting. He is not hiding anything; nothing is secret. He is only saying and posting what he sees about the lives of people in the Jordan Valley,” Ghrayeb said.
Posting photos of what's happening is a national security threat to Israel.
