| [AlAhram] Israel practices administrative detention, where detainees have no official charges or trial and can be held indefinitely 3200 Paleostinians have been detained by the Israeli authorities since the beginning of the year, the Paleostinian Prisoners' Center for Studies (PPCS) said on Wednesday in a press statement. PPCS asserted that administrative detention has become a strategy consistently employed by the Israeli authorities. While arrests have been made across all Paleostinian areas including the West Bank and the Gazoo Strip, around a third of the detainees were incarcerated Youse'll never take me alive coppers!... [BANG!]... Ow!... I quit! in Jerusalem. Israel's administrative detention policy allows for detainees to be held without charge for six-month intervals, which can be renewed indefinitely. Administrative detention is detention without charge or trial authorized by administrative order rather than by judicial decree. There are some 539 children, 180 women and 220 disabled people among the detainees. The statement also noted that around 400 detainees were rearrested after their release. Paleostinian prisoner Mohammed Allan, a hunger striker, was rearrested on 16 September after his administrative detention order was suspended in August due to his medical condition deteriorating. Israel has defended its administrative detention policy saying it is a necessary tool for preventing attacks and protecting intelligence. Israeli authorities this year have, according to PPCS, extensively relied on putting Paleostinian citizens into administrative detention. Israeli courts have issued around 765 such orders in 2015, varying from first-time administrative detention to the long-term renewal of detention for some. In recent years Israel has held thousands of Paleostinians in administrative detention, for periods ranging from several months to several years, according to B'Tselem, a prominent Israeli center for human rights One man's rights are another man's existential threat. . The measure is rarely applied against Israelis. Israel's use of administrative detention blatantly violates international law, B'Tselem have said on their website. PPC, based in the West Bank, is a group made up of researchers and specialists in the issue of Paleostinian and Arab prisoners inside Israeli prisons. |
