CALL TO PRESS & LAWYERS: Stop the Systematic Silencing Now.
We have received an urgent alert that Palestinian journalist Mustafa Ayyash in the Netherlands is facing possible deportation to Israel, likely via a third country like Austria.
The risk is grave: Deportation puts his life in extreme danger, including the threat of torture and harm to his family members.
Ayyash has already been held in isolation for a month without charge. This potential deportation is the ultimate act of repression, confirming a chilling global pattern where countries are punishing those who speak for Palestine:
🇳🇱 NETHERLANDS/AUSTRIA: The risk of transferring Ayyash, an outspoken Palestinian journalist, to Israel for what could amount to persecution must be blocked immediately based on international law i.e. non-refoulement.
🇺🇸 UNITED STATES: Political commentator Sami Hamdi was detained by ICE, reportedly for his public criticism of Israel.
🇬🇧 UNITED KINGDOM: British-Palestinian doctor Rahmeh Aladwan was arrested on suspicion of "racial hatred" over political social media posts.
We urge journalists to investigate this global pattern. The truth is being criminalized.
We call on human rights lawyers to provide immediate legal defense. The right to speak, the right to dissent and the rule of law are under attack. End the repression. Free them now.
