Zionist regime imprisons Palestinian lawyers, students, journalists and organizers without charge or trial

In the past 2 days, occupation forces have issued at least 91 orders for administrative detention against detained Palestinians. There are over 3,443 Palestinians held in administrative detention out of over 10,200 jailed by occupation forces. This number does not include up to thousands of Palestinians forcibly disappeared by the genocidal invading forces of the Zionist regime and held in notorious prison camps, such as Sde Teiman.

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. Below are just a few of those targeted in this weekend’s orders, followed by the lists of detention orders issued by the occupation military.

After 18 months of administrative detention, an-Najah National University student Hussam Shtayyeh‘s detention was ordered extended for 4 more months by the illegitimate zionist occupation. Administrative detention orders are indefinitely renewable.

After a year of imprisonment in Zionist jails, occupation forces once again renewed the administrative detention order for 6 months against Ahmed Anwar Aliyyat.

192 Palestinian journalists have been martyred in the Gaza Strip as part of the Zionist genocide, targeting those who report the truth, for assassination and imprisonment. Palestinian journalist Asem Mustafa al-Shunnar — one of over 100 Palestinian detained journalists — was ordered jailed for 6 more months without charge or trial.

US and fellow imperialist-backed zionist occupation forces extended the administrative detention — imprisonment without charge or trial — of Palestinian Hekmat Janajra from Al-Far’a camp for another 6 months.

After a year in zionist prisons, Ismail Ibrahim Khalil Khabas from Jalqamous, Jenin District, occupied Palestine, was ordered to an additional 4 months in administrative detention, zionist imprisonment with no charge or trial for the fourth time in a row.

Occupation military courts ordered the detained Palestinian lawyer, Mu’ayyad Samih Assaf, to administrative detention for 6 months. Multiple Palestinian lawyers, especially those who represent political prisoners and defend human rights, have been targeted for imprisonment and particularly administrative detention.

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.
