US journalist Jared Malsin is still being held in a detention centre at Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion international airport, according to Reporters sans Frontières (RSF).
He was arrested on arrival at the airport on January 12 and questioned for eight hours about his work as a journalist for Ma’an, an independent Palestinian news agency based in Bethlehem. He was due to be taken before a judge on Sunday January 17 but the hearing did not take place.
Malsin is being held in cell 106 at the airport where it is difficult for him to have any contact with his lawyer, Daoud.
His girlfriend, Faith Rowold, who was arrested at the same time, was expelled from Israel on 14 January.
