RESTRICTION SUMMARY: APAwire CLIENTS ONLY SHOTLIST: APAwire - APAwire CLIENTS ONLY, Hebron - 10 March. Palestinians take part in a protest in solidarity with prisoners in Israeli jails, in the West Bank city of Hebron. 0.1 SOUNDBITE (in Arabic) Ibrahim Najajra, director of the Prisoners’ Affairs Authority in Hebron Governorate. 0.2 SOUNDBITE (in Arabic) Kifah Harb, a member of the Fatah Revolutionary Council. STORYLINE: Nearly 450 Palestinian detainees have been refusing to show up for their military court hearings for 65 days in protest of their unfair detention without charge or trial under Israel’s controversial administrative detention policy. The boycott includes hearings for the renewal of administrative detention orders as well as appeal hearings and later sessions at Israel’s Supreme Court. Under administrative detention, Israel keeps Palestinians without charge for up to six months, a period which can be extended for an indefinite number of times. Women and minors are also among those detainees. The detention takes place on orders from a military commander and on the basis of what the Israeli regime describes as ‘secret’ evidence. Some prisoners have been held in administrative detention for up to 11 years. More than 4,500 Palestinian prisoners are currently held in about 17 Israeli jails. Over 450 detainees, including women and minors, are under the administrative detention. Rights groups describe Israel’s use of the detention as a “bankrupt tactic” and have long called on Israel to end its use. Footage by / APAwire
