🚨 Sahar Francis, the longtime director of Addameer, human rights defender & lawyer, was just banned from boarding a plane to the US while headed to the World Social Forum in Mexico—like director of @BisanResearch, @UbaiAboudi, who was prohibited from traveling earlier. 1/5
Preventing the directors of leading Palestinian civil society organizations from traveling & speaking abroad is a dangerous escalation in the Israeli-led harassment & isolation campaign.

➡️ But we are certain it will not prevent the world from seeing & condemning Israeli crimes.
Banning Sahar Francis & @UbaiAboudi from traveling is a blatant attempt at silencing criticism of Israeli apartheid & settler-colonialism. They were to speak at @Worldsocforum about political prisoners & the rising Israeli attack on & surveillance of human rights activists
Sahar & Ubai are directors of 2 of the 6 Palestinian orgs outlawed by the Israeli regime last October. International human rights experts have rightly condemned the attack as a dangerous totalitarian measure to quash opposition to Israeli apartheid. #StandWithThe6
Despite the attacks, Addameer remains fiercely dedicated to protecting and up lifting the rights of palestine political prisoners. Learn more about the attack on Palestinian civil Society and ❗️take action❗️ here: palcivilsociety.com

Earlier this morning, Salah Hammouri, 36y/o Palestinian-French HRD, lawyer at Addameer & former prisoner, was officially notified of the Israeli Minister of Interior's decision to revoke his permanent residency based on "breach of allegiance."
1/4
In her decision, the Minister emphasized that such a decision comes according to recommendations based on Salah's previous arrests and other "secret information", further noting that such a decision is necessary "to deter others from breaching allegiance to the State of Israel "
Residency policies, embedded in Israel's regime of racial domination and oppression, are designed to maintain a perilous legal status for Palestinians in East Jerusalem and uphold an Israeli-Jewish demographic majority in the city. 3/4
