‘Israel’ issued more than 550 administrative detention orders since the start of 2022
Occupied Palestine (QNN) – Israeli occupation authorities have issued more than 550 administrative detention orders since the beginning of 2022, Palestinian Prisoners’ Society (PPS) said.
The society added in a statement issued on Tuesday that most of the administrative detention orders against Palestinians were mainly issued during March and April.
It pointed out that the number of administrative detainees has been increasing since 2016, expecting that the number will increase to reach 700 by the end of this year.
The PPS stressed that the Israeli occupation authorities try to hinder any expected uprising, since many of those who were detained are youths who have never been subjected to administrative detention.
Meanwhile, Palestinian administrative detainees in Israeli jails continue their collective boycott of Israeli military courts as part of their efforts to end their administrative detention.
According to Palestinian statistics, about 4,500 Palestinians, including 32 women and 160 children, are currently languishing in Israeli detention jails.
Among them, close to 540 Palestinians are currently being held under ‘Israel’s’ illegal policy of administrative detention, under which detainees can be held for renewable six-month periods without charge or trial.
