Palestinian Center for Prisoners Advocacy: Israeli Supreme Court Decision Marks a Dangerous Continuation of Arbitrary Detention Against Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya The Palestinian Center for Prisoners Advocacy condemns the Israeli Supreme Court’s decision to reject the appeal submitted regarding the detention of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya and to approve the continuation of his detention under the so-called “Unlawful Combatants Law,” without presenting any charges against him or filing an indictment. The Center affirms that this decision constitutes a clear violation of international humanitarian law and the Geneva Conventions, which provide special protection for medical personnel during armed conflicts and prohibit their targeting or arbitrary detention for carrying out their humanitarian and professional duties. The Center notes that Dr. Abu Safiya remains held in solitary confinement at Nafha Prison under harsh and degrading detention conditions, while being denied necessary medical treatment and the most basic fundamental rights guaranteed to prisoners and detainees. The Center holds the Israeli occupation authorities fully responsible for the life and safety of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, and calls for his immediate release, the provision of urgent medical care, and an end to the policy of arbitrary detention against medical and humanitarian personnel. The Center also calls on international human rights institutions, foremost among them the International Committee of the Red Cross, the World Health Organization, and the United Nations Special Rapporteurs, to urgently intervene and pressure the Israeli authorities to end his unlawful detention and ensure respect for the protections granted to medical personnel under international law.
