RAMALLAH, December 10, 2015 (WAFA) –
Israeli authorities Thursday issued administrative detention orders against
seven Palestinians including a girl, according to Palestinian Prisoner’s
Society (PPS).
PPS said the administrative
detention orders ranged from four to six months.
Administrative detention is a
procedure that allows the Israeli military to hold prisoners indefinitely on
secret information without charging or allowing them to stand trial.
“The Israeli practice of
administrative detention has been condemned on numerous occasions by the UN
Human Rights Office and the Human Rights Committee that oversees implementation
of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, which Israel has
ratified,” said the UN News Center.
Following are the names of the seven
detainees who received administrative detention orders:
