Fight to free Ahmad Manasra

Adalah joins the fight to free Ahmad Manasra On 3 October 2022, Adalah and attorney Khaled Zabarqa filed a motion to the Supreme Court demanding to overturn a lower court's decision denying the early release of Ahmad Manasra, a Palestinian youth who was arrested for attempted murder in 2015, at the age of 13, and who was held for lengthy periods in solitary confinement. Despite his deteriorating mental health condition, which requires, according to doctors, medical aid outside of prison, the District Court upheld a parole committee's decision to deny him early release.An amendment to the 2016 Counter-Terrorism Law allowed the parole committee to determine retroactively that Ahmad’s actions, even as a minor, constituted a “terror act”, and therefore made him ineligible for early rel...

Scientists at Northeastern University in B...

The "repeated loss" of external power at the Zaporizhzhia facility "is a deeply worrying development, and it underlines the urgent need for a nuclear safety and security protection zone around the site," said IAEA chief Rafael Mariano Grossi. KENNY STANCIL External power has been restored to the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant after operators were forced to rely on diesel generators for the second time in five days amid sustained shelling, but that only underscores the urgent need to establish a "protection zone" around the Russian-occupied facility in southeastern Uk...

Fancy a mid-winter break in Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhya?

There’s a move afoot to safeguard the clapped-out nuclear plant by inserting a specially trained unarmed civilian “protection” team between the warring sides. Stuart Littlewood writes: Why this came my way, I don’t know. But it’s scary enough to be of interest to some, though once the realities become known it could be less so. Zaporizhzhya has six old fission reactors surrounded by 37 years of nuclear waste in unprotected cooling pools and dry casks. The plant is near the front line and has been in Russian hands since February, although it is owned and operated by the Ukrainian state entity Energoatom, whose personnel still have the day to day management. For months artillery fire has caused damage to various structures, including the back-up power supply ...
