The Israeli occupation’s Ofer military court issued 31 more administrative detention orders for imprisonment without charge or trial between 1 and 8 February 2017. Administrative detention orders are issued for one to six month periods and are indefinitely renewable. There are currently over 530 Palestinians held under administrative detention; many have had their detention renewed on multiple occasions and have spent years at a time in prison without charge or trial.
Palestinian lawyer Mahmoud Halabi reported that nine of the orders were issued against newly arrested Palestinians, while 22 of the orders renewed existing administrative detentions. Among these administrative detainees is Palestinian journalist Mohammed al-Qeeq, now held in isolation on his fourth day of hunger strike and demanding his release from detention. Al-Qeeq previously conducted a 94-day hunger strike against his last imprisonment in administrative detention, winning his release in May 2016.
Also included in this list of detainees are Jamal Barham and Shaher al-Rai, Palestinian leftist leaders from Tulkarem and Qalqilya whose detentions have been repeatedly extended since their simultaneous arrests in June 2015.
