: "Back from Israel, shipwreck survivor Dr. Baptiste André shares accounts of mistreatment," stated the headline of the latest news. Rima Hassan was still in the Givon detention center, located in central Israel, as Thursday morning broke. “I was supposed to meet her, but I found out that she was moved to solitary confinement in Neve Tirza Women's Prison due to her writings on the wall advocating for Palestine's freedom,” Hadeel Aou Salih confirmed. Baptiste André had spent around ten hours in confinement himself.
Hadeel Aou Salih was able to speak with Rima Hassan before she was relocated back to the detention center. The elected official "certainly seems to be a target for Israeli authorities given her status as an elected official, coupled with her Palestinian identity,” added Hadeel.
