27 August marks 50 years since Israel issued Military Order 101, a law that punishes Palestinians for peaceful political expression. Anyone breaching the order faces imprisonment for up to 10 years and/or a hefty fine. 50 years on, Military Order 101, which is almost as old as Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territory, continues to apply to Palestinians in the West Bank, and may be enforced at any time. | 27 August marks 50 years since Israel issued Military Order 101, a law that punishes Palestinians for peaceful political expression.

Since the coup, former President Mohamed Bazoum and his spouse, Hadiza Mabrouk, have been detained despite a December 2023 ECOWAS Court of Justice ruling that declared their detention arbitrary and called for their release. In June 2024, the former president’s immunity was lifted by the State Court, in a process in which he was denied access to his lawyers. Mohamed Bazoum has been charged with “high treason” and “plotting with the purpose of threatening state security or the authority of the state”, while no charges have been brought against Hadiza Mabrouk. Seven former cabinet ministers, charged with “infringing on national defence” before military courts, remain arbitrarily detained, despite judicial orders calling for the release of some of them. | |||
