Israel’s Jerusalem Central Court renewed the administrative sentence of the Palestinian-French detainee Salah al-Hamouri to another four months.
The French Foreign Ministry slammed in a statement the court rule expressing deep concern over Hamouri’s case and Israel’s unwarranted use of the administrative detention policy.
The ministry renewed its calls for restoring Hamouri’s rights and releasing him without further delay.
Prisoner Hamouri was kidnapped by the Israeli occupation forces on August 23 from his family home in Jerusalem’s town of Kafr Akeb.
Hamouri was released from Israeli jails where he had served six years as part of the Wafa al-Ahrar prisoner swap deal struck with the Israeli occupation in 2011.
A couple of years ago the occupation authorities banned Hamouri’s wife from entering Palestine and travelling to France via Lod Airport.
Recently dozens of French activists and civil society representatives launched a campaign calling for releasing lawyer Hamouri having a French mother and a French wife.
