Women Press Freedom welcomes the release of Palestinian journalist Asmaa Harish from Israeli detention at Damon Prison. Harish endured six months of administrative detention without being formally charged or given a trial and subjected to mistreatment and abuse.

Israel currently detains 96 Palestinian women, including 27 under administrative detention and six imprisoned women journalists. While Harish's release is a positive move, we demand Israel free all unjustly detained journalists.
