Israel to displace Palestinian community south of Hebron
The Palestinian Prisoners Society (PPS) has reported that the current number of Palestinians imprisoned by Israel under arbitrary Administrative Detention Orders, without charges or any due process now stands at 164.
The PPS said that the 164 administrative captives are currently held in Majeddo and Ofer prisons, and the Negev detention camp in the Negev Desert.
It added that 93 of those captives are from the southern West Bank district of al-Khalil, 33 from Nablus in northern West Bank, and 17 from the central West bank district of Ramallah. Five administrative detainees are from Qalqilia, four from Jenin, four from Beit-ul-lahm, four from Tubas, two from Tulkarem, one from Salfit, and one from Ariha.
Head of the PPS Qaddoura Fares said that, despite the fact that Israel is now the only country that practices this sort of illegitimate detention, Tel Aviv continues its violations, and insists on keeping such orders despite their violation of International Law.
Fares added that Israel should be prosecuted in international courts for its crimes against the Palestinian people, all political prisoners, mainly those held without charges.
Commenting on the high number of arrests in al-Khalil, head of the al-Khalil office of the PPS Amjad Najjar said that Israel is ethically and legally broke, and continues come up with fake justifications for the arrests, especially since al-Khalil has been a target for both Israeli soldiers and settlers.
