2015-09-17 PALESTINE: Routines of the occupation
=================================
The entire story, with it absurd guise of legal actions, courts, the whole decorum... claims of new "intelligence" reflects reality in Palestine and Israel today. jz
_____
Allan, a lawyer and member of Islamic Jihad, was detained last November and held without trial. He launched his hunger strike to protest his incarceration. Under an agreement reached with him, Allan's detention order was suspended in return for his agreement to stop his hunger strike, which twice left him in a coma.
His administrative detention was temporarily lifted and Israeli prosecutors told the court they would release him if he were found to have irreversible brain damage, but the ruling left open the question of what would happen if or when his health improves.
His court approved detention order expires on November 4.
Israel uses administrative detention to hold Palestinians deemed to be security risks, while not divulging what the authorities view as sensitive intelligence.

2015-09-16 JERUSALEM: Israeli police applies violence against journalists

2015-09-16 JERUSALEM: Israeli police applies violence against journalists
========================
The phenomenon is not new, but apparently in recent days it has been dramatically escalated in Jerusalem, in an effort to prevent photojournalists from recording what was happenning.
Following is tranlation from the linked Haaretz report today:
12 Palestinian journalists claim that they were beaten by police in the old city of Jerusalem in recent days. Some of them required medical care. According to a journalist and another source, they heard police officers instructing police to apply violence against photojournalists. "I was attacked twice within two days", said a photojournalist for French agency AFP, Ahmed Rarablah, " I was beaten by two cops. I have been reporting for 10 years, and this is the first time I have such an experience. I heard them in my own ears saying that they should attack the journalists".
Recently, Palestinian journalists have complained of worsening of their treatment, particularly in the old city and around the Temple complex. Three weeks ago, journalists were issued police reports for setting up tripods. Many times they are removed from the area by police, at time through application of force. However, since the eruption of violence in Jerusalem over the past 3 days, journalists claim that they have been targeted. The Jerusalem Police denies such claims. "No journalist is targeted. When we engage in dispersion or arrests' they may get hurt during running or falling", said Spokesman for the Jerusalem Police commander Asaf Aharoni.
12 עיתונאים פלסטינים טוענים כי הוכו בידי שוטרים בעיר העתיקה בירושלים בימים האחרונים, חלקם נזקק לטיפול רפואי. לטענת עיתונאי ומקור נוסף הם שמעו קציני משטרה שמורים לשוטרים להשתמש בכוח נגד צלמים. "תקפו אותי פעמיים ביומיים", אמר צלם של סוכנות הצילום הצרפתית AFP, אחמד רארבלה, "הרביצו לי ברגליים שני שוטרים. עשר שנים אני בשטח ופעם ראשונה שאני רואה דבר כזה. אני שמעתי אותם באוזניים שלי אומרים שצריך לתקוף עיתונאים".
בתקופה האחרונה מתלוננים עיתונאים פלסטינים על החרפת היחס כלפיהם בעיקר בעיר העתיקה ובסביבות הר הבית. לפני כשלושה שבועות קיבלו עיתונאים דו"חות על הצבת חצובות. פעמים רבות הם מורחקים מהמקום על ידי השוטרים, לעיתים תוך שימוש בכוח. אבל מאז התלקחות גל האלימות בירושלים בשלושת הימים האחרונים טוענים העיתונאים כי הם מהווים מטרה בעיני השוטרים. במשטרת ירושלים דחו את הטענות. "שום עיתונאי לא מהווה מטרה, כשיש פיזור או מעצר הם לפעמים נפגעים תוך כדי ריצה או נפילה", אמר דובר משטרת הבירה, ניסגן ניצב צב משנה אסף אהרוני.
