Zionist occupation orders 85 Palestinians to detention without charge or trial

On 20 January 2025, one day after the start of the Toufan al-Ahrar prisoner exchange which saw the liberation of 90 Palestinian women and youth, often held without charge, the Zionist occupation issued 85 orders of administrative detention. This form of imprisonment does not require evidence, charges or trial and is indefinitely renewable in six month periods. The illegitimate Zionist entity routinely detains Palestinians for years – some as young as 12 years old – without providing a release date or reason for detention.

Over 3,300 administrative detainees, including children, journalists, youth and women organisers, educators and students only make up a part of the more than 10,000 Palestinian political prisoners, excluding an undisclosed number of Gazan detainees facing torture, sexual abuse and starvation in Zionist prison camps. The occupation uses administrative detention in an attempt to demoralise, brutalise and isolate the Palestinian people, its communities, its political and social fabric and its honourable resistance. The arbitrary detentions constitute not only a blatant violation of international law but also psychological torture and collective punishment against the detainees, their families and communities.

As hundreds of Palestinians – administrative detainees as well as many serving decades-long sentences – are set over the coming weeks to be liberated by the Palestinian resistance, Samidoun emphasises the need to escalate the struggle internationally for the liberation of all Palestinian political prisoners in Zionist, PA and imperialist jails. The following is the list of those 85 who were issued orders of administrative detention, as published by the Commission of Prisoners’ Affairs and the Palestinian Prisoners’ Club:
