The European Union (EU) has denounced Israel for its persistence in administratively detaining Palestinians with no guilt.
In a statement released by its office in Occupied Jerusalem the EU expressed concern over Israel’s excessive use of administrative imprisonment with no indictments against the Palestinians.
It said that it was especially concerned about the deteriorating health conditions of prisoners Anas Shadeed and Ahmed Abu Fara who have been on hunger strike for two and a half months in protest at their detention administratively.
According to its statement there are more than 700 Palestinian administrative detainees including three minors in Israeli jails.
The EU called on Israel to respect its international human rights obligations towards all prisoners and enable them to have access to legal assistance and be subject to fair trials.
