Jihad Abdo, a Palestinian activist and commentator, has faced ongoing harassment for his role in the “Enough, Telecom Companies” movement. He was repeatedly arrested between 2017 and 2020 over protests and social media posts calling for anti-corruption reforms and lower telecommunications prices, including a ten-day detention during which he undertook a hunger strike. Court proceedings against him and other activists have continued for more than four years.
