RAMALLAH, April 9, 2018 (WAFA) – Israeli military authorities issued administrative detention orders against 33 Palestinians in the period from March 25 until April 2, the Palestinian prisoner’s Society (PPS) said on Monday.

PPS attorney Mohammad Halabi said the Israeli authorities issued two-month administrative detention order against Khadeja Rabai, 30-year-old mother of five from Yatta, to the south of Hebron, pointing that she has been detained since October 10, 2017.

Halabi added that 12 orders were issued against Palestinian detainees for the first time or against former detainees who were re-detained after they have been released and the rest has had their detention orders renewed.

Administrative detention is the imprisonment of Palestinians without charge or trial at orders from a military commander and on the basis of secret evidence. The order normally goes for six-month periods, indefinitely renewable by Israeli military authorities.
