On 28 October 2024, the Zionist occupation regime issued 100 administrative detention orders in one day against Palestinians jailed by the occupation. Administrative detention — imprisonment without charge or trial, on the basis of a “secret file” denied to both the detainee and their lawyer — is indefinitely renewable. Individual detention orders are issued for up to six months at a time, but they are indefinitely renewable — meaning that Palestinians routinely spend years in jail at a time, never knowing when they may be released or even why they are being held.
Administrative detention was first used in Palestine by the British colonial mandate and then adopted by the Zionist regime; it is now used routinely to target Palestinians, especially community leaders, activists, and influential people in their towns, camps and villages.
There are currently approximately 3500 Palestinians jailed without charge or trial under administrative detention, out of over 10,000 Palestinian political prisoners — not to mention the thousands of Palestinians kidnapped from Gaza and subjected to extreme torture and abuse in Zionist detention camps, such as the notorious Sde Teiman. Administrative detainees include children, Palestinians from occupied Palestine ’48, student activists, women’s organizers and land defenders.
Administrative detention orders are issued by the military and approved by military courts on the basis of “secret evidence”, denied to both Palestinian detainees and their attorneys. Hundreds of Palestinians have gone on hunger strike to win their liberation from this form of arbitrary detention, which is not only illegal under international law but a form of psychological torture and collective punishment targeting Palestinian families and communities, as detainees are unable to predict or plan for their release.
The use of administrative detention has become so widespread and massive that this 100-order day does not stand alone; on other recent days, 200 orders were issued at a time, on another occasion, 80 orders were issued.
Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network notes that the imperialist powers that continue to fund, arm and provide military, diplomatic and political cover to the occupation are fully complicit in the mass imprisonment of the Palestinian people, as they are in the ongoing genocide targeting Palestinians, particularly in Gaza. We urge all supporters of Palestine and mobilized Palestinian communities to take action, mobilize, demonstrate and organize direct actions to confront the imperialist-Zionist war machine and demand an end to administrative detention, the liberation of all administrative detainees, and the liberation of every Palestinian prisoner in Zionist, imperialist, PA and reactionary jails — part and parcel of the liberation of Palestine from the river to the sea.
