In its report, a copy of which obtained by Safa, JSC called on the International Federation of Journalists, human rights institutions, and defenders of freedom of press and expression to intervene to stop the detention policy.

It called for standing by the Palestinian journalists, 25 of whom are in Israeli prisons, and to work by all means to release them.

The occupation court postponed the date for the release of Al-Barghouti until August 10.
