'Dad, come back': Palestinians send radio messages to loved ones in Israeli jails

23 Sept 06:09 Key points summarised by AI

Palestinians with relatives in Israeli prisons are using a radio program, 'Messages for the Prisoners,' to communicate with loved ones after visiting rights were suspended during the Israel-Hamas war.
The number of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails has surged to around 9,000 since the October 7 attack, with families reporting a complete lack of news and deteriorating prison conditions.
The popular Radio Ajyal show has extended its broadcast due to an inundation of heartfelt messages from families, offering a crucial, albeit indirect, link and a sense of hope amid uncertainty.
Despite radios being banned in prisons, families and staff hope inmates can still tune in, as the program represents the sole means for many to connect with or gain information about their detained loved ones.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
