Administrative detainees boycott Israeli courts for 5th day

Tuesday 20-February-2018

Palestinian prisoners who are held captive in Israeli jails illegally under the so called administrative detention for no charges or trials have continued their boycotting of Israeli occupation military courts for the fifth day in a row in protest at the arbitrary decisions of detaining them administratively.

In a statement on Tuesday the administrative detainees said that the boycott is going to last until a further notice. It aims at foiling Israeli attempts to mislead the public opinion by showing that Palestinian prisoners are subjected to a legal jurisdiction the statement elaborated.

The captives called on Palestinian factions and human rights organizations as well as civil institutions and the media to spread the word of Palestinian administrative detainees and to call for a massive mobilization until halting the illegal administrative detention.

They demanded that Palestinian Authority’s President Mahmoud Abbas support them politically and legally through bringing their cases to international competent courts.

The administrative detainees also called on Palestinian ambassadors across the world to launch media and diplomatic campaigns in order to pressure Israeli occupation authorities to put an end to the illegitimate administrative detention.
