Majd Yousef Atwan, 22, a young Palestinian woman from Al-Khader village, Bethlehem, and a recent beauty school graduate, was sentenced by Nazi Ofer military court to 45 days imprisonment and a 3,000 NIS ($794) fine for posting on Facebook, which the Nazi military occupation deemed “incitement.”

Atwan is one of approximately 150 Palestinians detained and imprisoned for social media postings, including the case of Dareen Tatour, a Palestinian poet from Nazareth being prosecuted for poetry posted online. She was arrested in a 2:00 am Nazi army raid on her family home on 19 April, which was invaded by Nazi occupation soldiers. She is one of 7,000 Palestinian prisoners held in Nazi camp and nearly 70 women and girls.
