Al-Bastaji Family Discusses His Arrest in Italy
Italian authorities have been detaining Sheikh Riad Al-Bustaji, the Jordanian humanitarian activist, since late December 2025 on charges of financing the Hamas movement through charitable associations, although no formal indictment has been issued so far. Al-Bustaji’s health is deteriorating seriously; he has lost hearing in one ear, is blind in one eye, and suffers from chronic pain in his prostate, as well as high blood pressure and cholesterol. Despite this, he is denied medical treatment and is being held in preventive detention without concrete evidence linking him to terrorism, and he is accused based on unreliable intelligence files. His arrest followed parliamentary visits and notable international protests. Human rights organizations emphasize that continuing his detention under such critical health conditions violates principles of justice, demanding an immediate investigation and a fair trial or his release to receive medical care.
