Palestinian administrative detainees in Israeli jails began on Thursday an open-ended boycott of all Israeli military courts.
According to attorney Mahmoud Halabi from the Palestinian Prisoners Society detainees who are held without charge or trial for prolonged periods have put into effect their decision to boycott all Israeli courts.
He said there are currently 450 administrative detainees in Israeli lock-ups some among whom have had their six-month detention renewed several times and some others have been incarcerated for 14 straight years without charge or trial.
Rights groups have condemned the widely-practiced administrative detention by the Israeli occupation as illegal and a violation of international law for it fails to provide a fair trial to the detainees.
