An Israeli court on Wednesday extended the administrative detention of Palestinian lawmaker Ibrahim Dahbour for another four months without indictment or trial.
His family told the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) that after his detention last March MP Dahbour was immediately held in administrative detention for four months adding that an Israeli court extended his detention twice after that and refused to release him.
MP Dahbour was kidnapped by Israeli soldiers at a military checkpoint on March 23 2017. He had been jailed several times before mostly after his election to the Palestinian Legislative Council in 2006.
In a different incident Israeli soldiers at al-Jalama crossing withdrew a permit allowing a Palestinian citizen from Jenin refugee camp to visit his brother in an Israeli jail.
Local sources told the PIC that soldiers at al-Jalama crossing prevented Asaad Khanfar from visiting his brother and confiscated the document allowing him to go to the prison in Israel.
