Court Puts Prisoner in Administrative Detention on Day of his Release

RAMALLAH, December 11, 2013 (WAFA) – An Israeli military court at Ofer camp near Ramallah Wednesday ruled to keep Raed Musa, 33, from Silat al-Dhahr, near Jenin, in administrative detention for six months. The ruling came on the day Musa was supposed to be released, according to the Palestinian Prisoner Club.

It said a military court in Salem camp near Jenin had earlier ruled to release of Musa, who was arrested at his home on November 30.

However, instead of releasing him, he was transferred to Ofer where the court slammed him with six months in administrative detention.

In a related development, the Prisoner Club said Palestinian detainees at Megiddo prison in Israel were rebelling against orders to isolate two inmates.

It said quoting families who went to visit their sons in prison that the situation was tense and that the prison guards used tear gas canisters to quell the protest.

The families said the prison service cancelled their visit.
