RAMALLAH, November 11, 2015
(WAFA) – Israeli authorities Wednesday issued administrative detention orders,
without charge or trial, against 43 Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails.
The Palestinian Prisoners’ Club
(PPC) said while 32 of these detainees received administrative orders for the
first time, 11 others received renewed administrative orders.
Administrative
detention is a procedure that allows the Israeli military to hold prisoners
indefinitely on secret information without charging them or allowing them to
stand trial.
Israel routinely uses
administrative detention against Palestinians. Statistics show that over the
years, thousands of Palestinians have been held in Israeli custody as administrative
detainees for extended periods of time.
The Israel human
rights group B’Tselem says that, “International law stipulates that
[administrative detention] may be exercised only in very exceptional cases –
and then only as a last possible resort, when there are no other means
available to prevent the danger.”
“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.”
In April 2015, the United
Nations Human Rights Office (OHCHR) expressed concern by the continued and
increasing use of administrative detention by Israeli authorities against
Palestinians.
