Dareen Tatour is a Palestinian poet, photographer, Political activist, and social media activist from Reineh, Palestine. In 2018, she was tried and convicted in an Israeli occupation court for inciting violence and supporting a terrorist organization, following the publication of a poem on social media. She was released in 2018 after serving a prison term. Since then, world opinion has drawn attention to her case. The BBC said that "the poet's case has become a cause célèbre for free speech advocates and has drawn attention to a recent rise in Israeli arrests - of Palestinians in the occupied accused of incitement or planning attacks online. "PEN AMERICA has continuously supported Tatour’s case, stating that her conviction “relies on a wanton mischaracterization of her work and is an unacceptable attack on freedom of expression in Israel”. Jewish Voice for Peace and Adalah NY has also openly supported her. Tatour is the recipient of the OXFAM Novib/PEN award 2019 for freedom of expression. A Hebrew online magazine, Maayan, awarded Tatour the 2016 prize for creativity in struggle, and she was also awarded the Danish Carl Scharenberg Prize for standing against injustice through her poetry in 2017.In 2020 she won the Freedom of Expression Award in Norway - Oslo. Running through all Tatour’s work is a double narrative of oppression against the Palestinian people and also oppression of women under a patriarchal society.
