The Trials of Dareen Tatour: A year of detention and no end in sight

via Mondoweiss

It was exactly one year ago that Dareen Tatour’s ordeal began. In the pre-dawn hours of October 11, 2015, Israeli police and border guards stormed into Palestinian poet’s family home without a warrant or an explanation for the shocking and disturbing intrusion. They arrested, interrogated, and eventually charged Dareen Tatour with the crime of ‘incitement to violence.’

In the past year Dareen has been held in three separate prisons, confined to house arrest, and has faced an aggressive yet scandalously vacuous prosecution—all as part of a flagrant Israeli strategy to suppress Palestinian voices who dare criticize Israeli policies.

During an outbreak of predictably cyclical violence between Palestinians and Israelis last fall, Dareen Tatour—a citizen of the Israel—posted two status updates on Facebook and a poetry clip called Resist my people, Resist them, which protested the outrageous murders of three Palestinian children.

Honest observers who have examined the case agree that Dareen’s ‘offending’ posts fall well inside the boundaries of legitimate artistic expression, yet Dareen remains under house arrest in her home town of Reineh for the duration of her trial. She cannot leave the premises except for six hours a week. She wears an electronic ankle monitor (serviced by the notorious G4S), and a family member must guard her at all times. She is unable to use the internet, and is not free pursue educational, professional, or artistic activities. In short, she is languishing in a state of prolonged anxiety and uncertainty at great personal cost.

Thanks to a vigorous solidarity campaign, Dareen’s case has attracted national and international protest from prize-winning writers, journalists, international peace organizations, and most recently from PEN International, the premier international organization defending freedom of expression for writers worldwide. PEN International has called for Dareen’s immediate and unconditional release and held a tribute for her at their recent 82nd International Congress in Spain. Dareen was selected as one of their four “empty chairs,” chosen to represent all the writers who cannot be with them. In addition, PEN Centers around the world are working on translating Tatour’s poem, “A Poet Behind Bars,” several excerpts of which were read on International Translation Day. They already published this poem translated into more than ten languages.

Numerous poets, writers, and political figures have released statements of support. The award-winning Israeli poet and Tal Nitzan has recently written, “I am ashamed of being a citizen of a state that persecutes poets, I am ashamed of the privilege I have—at least for now—to publish any text I want, without fear of arrest.” Arab Member of Knesset Haneen Zoabi joins of chorus of voices when she notes that only an international movement is capable of forcing the Israelis to stop this “dangerous, deeply fascist process.” (Scroll down below to read several recent statements of support).
