Continued Attention Paid To The Jailing Of Mohammad Saba’aneh

An interview here by Aaron Schachter with cartoonist Uri Fink is one of several pieces that continuing to drive attention to the fact that the Palestinian cartoonist Mohammad Saba'aneh is one of the nearly 5000 Palestinians currently sitting in Israeli jails, in this case and in many other without a charge. The cartoonist's arrest has helped draw attention to this issue, whereby authorities can hold someone that way for up to 90 days and even indefinitely at the prosecutors' discretion.

Saba'aneh was detained in mid-February while crossing back into the country from Jordan. He has published in several places including Cartoon Movement, which has been on this story from the start.
