Issa Amro said: “Preventive security forces raided my house on Sunday night, the day before I was arrested,” and I was not at home at that time, I was in the neighborhood of Tel Rumeida, which is threatened by settlement. “ Added to that “They left me a summons to come on Monday morning for the purpose of an interview. I went to the “interview” then I stayed there until evening, then I was told that I was being detained, in the preventive headquarters in Hebron. ”

Issa Amro considered the post he wrote as a personal opinion expressing, in which he said “in a journalist with threats from members of the security services against the background of publishing news of the arrest of Ayman al-Qawasmeh, “I wish that every journalist in the country publishes the news because it is 100 percent true and not a rumor, and secondly everyone who was being threaten tell me so we can document for the Europeans and show them how they violate the international law, not everyone should act as a law or a state. The law is clear and unequivocal, the detained journalist Ayman Qawasmeh, there is a district, a society, journalists’ union, and activists who will stop with him, the security men are enforcing laws and regulations. ” Freedom to Ayman Al – Qawasmi.”

(16, 20, 28, 51), as well as articles (32, 33, 34, 35, 37 -40, 41, 42, 43, 44), these include many provisions that would prejudice the right to privacy and the privacy of citizens’ by living without providing any legal controls, and the most important is judicial authorization, and notifying the accused of these procedures. Under this law, ‘Issa’ Amro was arrested several times from the occupation for his previous work as a researcher at B’Tselem, which is an Israeli non-governmental organization active in documenting human rights violations in the occupied territories, and this reinforced the Palestinian security apparatus by arresting him for his previous activities and writings, which are considered freedom of opinion.
