This photo provided by Palestinian journalist Osama al-Kahlout shows a protestor holding a sign that reads in Arabic, “I want to live in dignity; I’m wounded and need treatment and a salary,” during a protest in Deir al Balah, central Gaza Strip March 15. On the left side is Al-Kahlout’s name in Arabic. Al-Kahlout was detained the next day as he went live on Facebook during another protest. He said police smashed furniture, seized his belongings and beat him on the way to the police station. Hamas is facing the biggest demonstrations yet against its 12-year rule of the Gaza Strip, with hundreds of Palestinians taking to the streets in recent days to protest the dire living conditions in the blockaded territory.
