Hours later, 24-year-old Mahal Zaatari was killed after allegedly carrying out a stabbing operation at a checkpoint in Hebron. Occupation forces also raided the West Bank district of Janine for the second consecutive day on April 10. The crackdown has intensified after a shooting in Tel Aviv last week, which killed three Israelis. Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has granted full freedom of action to the army and the intelligence agency Shinbeth. At least 36 people were arrested from Jerusalem and the West Bank on Sunday. According to WAFA News, dozens were injured with live bullets and tear gas in areas including Jericho and Tulkaran. We move on to India, where a Kashmiri journalist Asif Sultan has been booked under India's Public Safety Act. With this follows just days after he was granted bail by a special court in Srinagar. Sultan has spent four years in jail after his arrest in August 2008. He was charged under India's Rakhonian Unlawful Activities Prevention Act or the UAPA. Police accuse Sultan of harnessing known militants, a charge which his family has vehemently denied. He was also charged with murder and conspiracy against the state. Sultan's family and employer argued that he was targeted for a story he had written about the killing of Kashmiri militant leader Burhan Vani. Police claim that Sultan's name had come up in a separate investigation related to a gunfight. They also claim to have seized papers bearing the letterhead of the banned militant group, his Wulmah Jahideen, from his possessions. Sultan's lawyers have denounced the charges as fabricated stating that he was not even present at the scene of the gunfight. Sultan was finally granted bail on April 5th with the court noting that there was no direct or substantial evidence against him. However, as per reports he was not released from trustee. Sultan has now been charged under the Public Safety Act which allows authorities to detain a person without trial for up to two years. The Kashmir Wallah reported that 35-year-old was transferred to the Court Balwal Jail in April 10th. Sultan is the third Kashmiri journalist to be charged under the PSA in 2022. Western Sahara's independence movement, the Polisario Front, has suspended its ties with Spain. It has condemned Madrid for its, quote, instrumentation of the Western Sahara question in shameful bargaining with the occupier, end quote. The break in ties will last until Spain conforms with decisions of international legality. This includes the recognition of the Sahrawi people's right to self-determination and the borders of their country as internationally recognized. Morocco has occupied Western Sahara since the withdrawal of Spanish colonizers in 1975. The Polisario Front has been resisting this occupation and the exploitation of the region's resources for decades. The movement also governs 20% of the Western Sahara as the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic. In 1991, a UN-led peace process resulted in a ceasefire and a settlement plan for the region. This would include an independence referendum to decide the fate of Western Sahara. Not only has Morocco not conducted this referendum, it violated the ceasefire in 2020. It is also responsible for routine right violation, including air attacks and arrests of Sahrawi activists. On March 18, 2022, Spain declared its support for Morocco's 2007 plan for the region. Under this, Western Sahara would be granted autonomy under the Kingdom's sovereignty. The Polisario Front stated that the plan would legitimize the annexation of the region. The move also prompted protests by progressive sections within Spain. Algeria has also recalled its ambassador to Madrid over the decision. And finally, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has won Mexico's first-ever recall referendum. According to initial results released by the National Electoral Institute, between 90.3% to 91.9% of voters backed AMLO. Between 6.4% and 7.8% voted to have the president's mandate revoked before its official end in October 2024. The turnout for the vote on April 10 remained between 17 and 18%. This was well below the 40% threshold required to make the referendum's results binding. However, the president had stated that if the majority voted against him, he would resign even if the threshold had not been met. AMLO had himself called the referendum, arguing that it was vital to validate his mandate. He had pledged to strengthen participatory democracy in Mexico during his campaign. The president has been criticized by the opposition over his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. Other issues include inflation, a controversial energy reform, and drug trafficking. Despite this, a recent survey by El Financiero has shown that the president has a favorable rating of 57%. The Mexican people have supported AMLO's social policies, including soft loans and decent pensions. His ruling Morena Party has taken progressive stance on issues including reproductive rights and LGBTQ rights. And that's all for today's episode.
