Israeli occupation military courts issued 34 administrative detention orders in between 14 June and 29 June, reported Palestinian lawyer Mahmoud Halabi.
25 of the orders were renewal orders directed against Palestinian prisoners who were already imprisoned without charge or trial, while the remaining orders were newly issued.
There are nearly 500 Palestinians imprisoned without charge or trial under administrative detention, out of a total of approximately 6,200 Palestinian political prisoners. Administrative detention orders are issued on the basis of secret evidence. They are indefinitely renewable; Palestinians have spent years at a time jailed with no charges and no trial.
Among the orders issued in that time period was the three-month renewal order against Sabah Faraoun, a Palestinian seamstress held in administrative detention. She was held in solitary confinement in Damon prison for at least a week in late June and early July along with other women prisoners subject to repression. Also included in this group of orders was a two-month renewal order against Dr. Essam al-Ashqar, a Palestinian physics professor at An-Najah University suffering from poor health.
