CNN —Walid Daqqa, one of the longest-serving Palestinian prisoners in Israel, died of cancer on Sunday at the age of 63 after almost four decades of incarceration. At the time of his death, he was the longest imprisoned Palestinian in Israel, with the second longest sentence served overall, according to the Palestinian Prisoners Society. Born in the Israeli town of Baqa al-Gharbiyye in the northern “triangle” region, Daqqa was a Palestinian citizen of Israel. Daqqa was not convicted of carrying out the murder but of commanding the group, which he denied, Amnesty said. After his death, a tent set up for mourners to gather on Monday in Baqa al-Gharbiyye was stormed by Israeli police, according to a statement from the Palestinian Prisoners Society and CNN video.

Turkey allows decades-old mothers' vigil after five-year ban

The resumption of the "Saturday Mothers" vigil comes after Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya on Wednesday said the government had "good intentions" and a peaceful solution would be found over the issue, responding to questions by opposition lawmakers during a parliamentary session. The group's protest, involving around 10 people and held at Galatasaray Square near the Taksim district in central Istanbul, was its 972nd such vigil, it said in a statement on social media platform X. "We will not stop searching for all our missing people and demanding that the perpetrators be tried and punished," it said. However the Constitutional Court in February ruled that the right to organise demonstrations of some members of the group had been violated.
