Jihad Abdo is a co-founder of the The Coalition of Civilized Demand for Fair Palestinian Telecom Sector (Bekfi ya shrikat alitisalat - Enough Communication Companies), a movement which was established to demand fair competition in the Telecom sector in Palestine and to defend the economic rights of Palestinians. The movement advocates against the continuous rise in telecommunication costs and Paltel Telecommunications Group’s monopoly over the industry in Palestine. He regularly participates in organising peaceful demonstrations calling for an end to corruption within the Palestinian Authority and the Palestinian telecom sector. He was arrested on 19 July 2020 with anti-corruption human rights defender Fayez Swaity whilst peacefully protesting under the title ‘enough is enough’, demanding an end to corruption and nepotism issues within the government. The organisers stated that they would commit to observing social distancing measures in the context of COVID-19. However, before the protest began, approximately 25 participants were arbitrarily detained, including the defenders, and taken to the Ramallah Police Directorate detention facility. They have been charged with ‘illegal gathering’ and ‘violating the emergency laws’.
