Detainees and Ex-detainees Committee said in a report issued on Thursday that administrative detention has turned into a policy of collective punishment to impose sanctions on the Palestinian prisoners as well as their families.
Detainee Bajes Nakhleh told the Committee’s lawyer who visited him in Ofer Israeli jail that Israeli occupation authorities are still using the unjust administrative detention despite that administrative captives have been boycotting the Israeli courts for 29 consecutive days.
25 Administrative detention orders have been issued against Palestinian prisoners including 3 women and 3 minors during the last week he highlighted.
The number of Palestinian administrative detainees who are illegally languishing in Israeli jails for no trials of charges has jumped to 500 in each of Negev Megiddo Ofer and Hasharon Israeli jails.
