Israeli authorities must release Palestinian human rights defender

Israeli authorities continue to deny Palestinian human rights defender and BDS Coordinator Mahmoud Nawajaa his right to see his lawyer, keeping him in their interrogation dungeons. 

Amnesty International is calling for international pressure to #FreeMahmoud and to protect BDS campaigners globally.

Take action to share this statement widely to help #FreeMahmoud

Amnesty International issued a statement that said:

"Israeli authorities must immediately and unconditionally release Palestinian human rights defender Mahmoud Nawajaa, 34, the General Coordinator of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement (BDS) in the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT).... He has been detained solely for exercising his rights to freedom of expression and association and is therefore a prisoner of conscience."
