Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The Palestinian leader, Yasser Arafat, acted to defuse the explosive situation created in West Bank cities by the death of one Palestinian prisoner tortured by Palestinian police and the fatal shooting of a second man by Palestinian security forces quelling a riot.
A Jericho court sentenced two officers and a sergeant, who beat Mahmoud Jamaiel to death in a Nablus lock-up, to 15 and 10 years' hard labour. Mr Jamaiel, who had been held for seven months without charge, died from cardiac arrest brought on by a fractured skull. Mr Arafat yesterday ordered the release of 15 Hamas prisoners in Tulkarm, where security men fired on a mob on Friday, killing Ibrahim Hadayeh, a Hamas activist. Islamic militants responded by calling for a new intifada against the Palestinian Authority and the Israelis.
