Israeli occupation authorities (IOA) extended on Monday the administrative detention order for the second time against the Palestinian lawyer Basel Mezher 24 from al-Duhaisheh refugee camp south of Bethlehem.
Activists concerned with the issue of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails told the PIC reporter that the six months extension order was issued based on the so-called “the secret file” which neither prisoners nor lawyers are allowed to access.
Israeli attorney general claimed that the extension order was issued for security reasons.
Mezher was arrested in October 2016 after Israeli soldiers stormed his home in the refugee camp.
