IOA holds journalist in administrative detention

Wednesday 8-February-2012

NABLUS (PIC)– The Israeli occupation authority (IOA) has ordered the administrative custody of Palestinian journalist Amin Abu Warda for five months starting today Wednesday without counting the previous period of detention.

The Tadamun foundation for human rights said that the detention was at the request of the Israeli intelligence and the military commander.

Tadamun said in a press release that Abu Warda 46 was taken from his home in Nablus on 28/12/2011 and is now held in Megiddo jail.

It said that the administrative custody against Abu Warda was not legal and arbitrary adding that it proved that the Israeli intelligence was unable to find any charge against him that would stand at a court hearing.

The foundation said that Abu Warda who has an MA in media was questioned by Israeli interrogators on events that happened 30 years ago when he was still a minor.

Abu Warda worked as a correspondent for a number of media outlets and was preparing a doctorate in his field in Malaysia.
