Hamour to be released mid-June 2017

Tuesday 27-December-2016

The Israeli Supreme Court on Monday set mid-June 2017 as a deadline to end the hunger striker Ammar Hamour’s administrative detention.

Lawyer of the Palestinian Prisoners Society (PPS) Ahmad Safiyya clarified that the court decided that it will keep Hamour in administrative detention for four more months after he completes his current six-month administrative detention order which will end in February 2017.

The 28-year-old Ammar Hamour from Jenin began an open hunger strike for 32 days in protest at his administrative detention.

Israel has been widely condemned for its use of administrative detention policy without charge or trial.
