Summary of facts

French-Palestinian lawyer Salah Hamouri was detained several times in Israel between 2001 and 2022. In 2022, he was reportedly held in administrative detention without formal charge, deprived of food and sleep, placed in isolation as punishment for his hunger strike, and barred from contact with his family.

Amnesty International France recalls that everyone is presumed innocent until proven guilty according to law.
