Amnesty MENA writes:
More than two months since the Israeli military raided and destroyed Kamal Adwan hospital north of the occupied Gaza Strip, detaining patients and medical staff, including the hospital’s director Dr. #HussamAbuSafiya.
Dr. Abu Safiya is being detained without charge or trial under Israel’s repressive Unlawful Combatants’ Law, which violates international law. He told his lawyer he was tortured in custody.
Israel must release him & all arbitrarily detained Palestinians immediately. Health workers must be protected, not targeted.

Al-Mezan Organization stated that the Israeli occupation has lifted the ban preventing Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya from meeting his lawyer after 40 days of detention without legal counsel. Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya was abducted by the Israeli army from Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza and was reportedly tortured and mistreated in various Israeli detention centers.

We’re concerned over the fate of Kamal Adwan Hospital’s Dr Hussam Abu Safiya: he must be released, says Amnesty. Concern may not be enough, Wilkinson adds.
