We speak to Palestinian human rights activist Issa Amro about his upcoming Israeli military trial.
Issa Amro has been dubbed by some "the Palestinian Gandhi". A prominent human rights activist in the occupied West Bank, who's been recognised by both the European Union and the United Nations, he has been a tireless advocate for nonviolent resistance.
Rather than being embraced by political leaders on both sides, in September Palestinian security forces arrested him for a post on Facebook in which he criticised the Palestinian Authority for arresting a journalist.
Amro is also awaiting trial in an Israeli military court for a series of charges, dismissed by international rights groups as baseless.
