Israeli military court extended solitary confinement for Maher Shahrour, a life-sentenced prisoner from Tulkarem, for another year, Shehab Wire reported. The decision prolongs the prisoner's isolation, a practice that human rights organizations have repeatedly criticized as a severe form of detention that can cause significant psychological harm.
Shahrour has been held in solitary confinement under Israeli custody, a status that separates him from the general prison population and severely restricts contact with other inmates and visitors. The court's renewal of the isolation order indicates continued restrictions on his conditions of detention.
