Hundreds of Palestinian administrative detainees in Israeli jails have continued refusing to show up for their court sessions for the 69th day rights sources revealed Thursday.
The boycott includes the initial hearings to uphold the administrative detention order as well as appeal hearings and later sessions at the Supreme Court.
Under the banner “Our decision is freedom” the 500 administrative detainees said in a statement that their move comes as a continuation of longstanding Palestinian efforts “to put an end to the unjust administrative detention practiced against our people by the (Israeli) occupation authorities”.
This came amid growing calls for intensifying solidarity vigils and events in support of Palestinian prisoners’ protest steps.
