BREAKING: Israel placed EU Parliment member Rima Hassan in solitary confignment and Thiago Avila was also placed in solitary configment.
Rima Hassan was placed in isolation under inhumane conditions in Neve Tirza Prison after writing “Free Palestine” on a wall in Givon Prison. She was moved to a small, windowless cell with extremely poor hygienic conditions and has been denied access to the prison yard.
Tiago Ávila was placed in isolation in Ayalon Prison due to his ongoing hunger and thirst strike, which he began two days ago. He has also been treated aggressively by prison authorities, although this has not escalated to physical assault.
Full statement by Adalah:
“11 June 2025, 6pm Jerusalem Time
Today, Adalah’s lawyers visited the detained volunteers. During the visit, they received updates on the conditions of detention, including recent punitive measures taken against them. The Israeli authorities transferred two of the volunteers — the Brazilian volunteer Thiago Ávila and the French-Palestinian European Parliament member Rima Hassan — to separate prison facilities, away from the others, and placed them in solitary confinement.

The act of isolation and transfer to separate prison facilities constitutes a serious violation of the volunteer’s rights and a clear attempt to exert mental and political pressure on them.
Adalah is demanding that the Israeli authorities release the volunteers from solitary confinement, cease all retaliatory actions against them, and immediately release all eight of them — either allowing their return to the ship to continue their humanitarian mission or facilitating their return to their countries of origin”
