RAMALLAH, July 22, 2025 (WAFA) – The Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs and the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society (PPS) said that the number of administrative detainees held in Israeli occupation prisons has surpassed 3,600 as of early July, including women and children.
in a statement issued today, the commission and PPS said Israeli occupation authorities today issued administrative detention orders against 25 Palestinian detainees.
The period of the detentions varied between three and six months.
Israel’s widely condemned policy of administrative detention allows detention of Palestinians without charge or trial for renewable intervals usually ranging between three and six months based on undisclosed evidence that even a detainee’s lawyer is barred from viewing.
“Israel‘s use of administrative detention blatantly violates the restrictions of international law. Israel carries it out in a highly classified manner that denies detainees the possibility of mounting a proper defense,” says Israeli human rights group B’Tselem.
