TEHRAN, Sept 01 -The Israeli regime last month subjected dozens of Palestinians to an illegal practice known as “administrative detention,” a form of imprisonment in which the individual is never tried and can be held indefinitely.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) -The regime issued “administrative detention” orders against 76 Palestinians in the month of August, the Palestinian Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs said in a statement, WAFA news agency reported on Sunday.
Some of the detainees were receiving the order for the first time; others were having their administrative detentions extended.
The detention periods given in August ranged from two to six months.
More than 500 detainees are under administrative detention, an imprisonment without trial or charge in which Israel keeps the detainees for up to six months, periods that are in turn extendable an infinite number of times.
Such detentions are given on orders from a military commander and on the basis of what the regime describes as secret evidence.
Some prisoners have been held in administrative detention for up to 11 years without any charges having been brought against them.
