- Sanaa Salameh Daqqa accused of online incitement
- Walid Daqaa died in Israeli custody last year
LONDON: Sanaa Salameh Daqqa, the widow of Palestinian political prisoner Walid Daqaa who died in custody last year, has been sentenced to 10 days’ house arrest by an Israeli court in Hadera.
Daqqa, who lives in the Israeli village of Baqa al-Gharbiyye, was arrested in occupied East Jerusalem last week on a charge of online incitement following a demand by Israel’s Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir for her to be deported.
The court on Thursday sentenced her to 10 days of house arrest at her mother’s home in Tira and imposed a travel ban and bail of 20,000 shekels ($5,700), the Palestinian news agency WAFA reported.
However, Sanaa remains in custody, as Israeli police are expected on Friday to appeal the court’s decision to release her.
Walid Daqaa died in Israeli custody in April 2024 after spending 38 years in custody. His body remains held by Israeli authorities.
