Palestinian Human Rights Lawyer Held Without Charge in Israeli Prison
---------------------------------------------------------------------

In more news from the region, Al Jazeera is reporting the Palestinian
human rights lawyer Diala Ayesh has now spent nearly a month in jail
without charge. She was detained on January 17 at an Israeli checkpoint.
Prior to her arrest, she had helped form a new collective of women
lawyers to work on the unprecedented number of Palestinians being jailed
in the West Bank and Jerusalem following the October 7 Hamas attack.
