Jordanian Riad Al-Bustanji Serves 9 Months in Italy
Italian authorities confirmed the detention of Jordanian relief activist Sheikh Riad Al-Bustangi since December 2025, as part of investigations into the financing of Hamas through charitable associations in Italy, where it is suspected that around 7 million euros have been transferred to support terrorist activities. Al-Bustangi faces charges related to terrorism financing, but he denies any connection to Hamas and demands the presentation of tangible evidence capable of proving the accusations against him. He is currently suffering from severe health deterioration, including hearing loss in one ear and worsening vision, amid concerns that his ongoing detention without trial for approximately nine months poses serious health risks. Legal and humanitarian calls are increasing for providing him with necessary medical care or allowing his transfer to Jordan for treatment, as Italian authorities continue to refuse his release so far.
