The Israeli occupation authorities extended late on Sunday the detention of the Palestinian lawyer Salah Hammouri for three months for the second time in a row just one day before his release.
Local activist Amjad Abu Asab affirmed that the Jerusalem-born-and-bred Palestinian lawyer and human rights advocate Salah Hammouri was arrested in March 2017 and placed under administrative detention for three months which is supposed to end on Monday morning.
Hammouri works as a field researcher at the Addameer Palestinian rights group. He spent nearly nine years in Israeli jails in separate arrests. He was denied entry into the occupied West Bank for more than two years.
Last October Israeli authorities notified the Palestinian human rights defender of the revocation of his permanent residency status in Occupied Jerusalem.
In November 2021 Front Line Defenders revealed that phones of six rights activists including Hammouri were hacked with Pegasus spyware.
