Although we were unable to join Sami in the #courtroom, we sat with his family and dozens of other #Palestinians awaiting their family members, imprisoned and/or awaiting #prosecution in the #military #court system.
In Sami’s case, his trial was postponed, granting momentary relief despite a continuation of the bail conditions which prevent him from participating in #protests—essentially, keeping him from exercising his most basic right to #free speech and #resistance to #oppression.

Campaigners demanded that the UN interfere after the Israeli military court in Ofer charged Palestinian activist Issa Amro for demonstrating against the "illegal occupation" without a permit.
On Wednesday morning, he was sentenced after 18 charges were brought against him in 2016. Mr. Isso was convicted of six of the offences, including demonstrating without a permit, obstructing and attacking an Israeli soldier.
Amnesty International has said it would defend him as “a prisoner of conscience” and he has previously been supported by Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders. Sentencing will take place on February 8.
