APAwire - APAwire CLIENTS ONLY, Hebron - 04 June 2021. Israeli authorities release the Palestinian prisoner, Saleh Al Jabari.
STORYLINE
The Israeli authorities released the prisoner Saleh Al-Jabari after spending 14 years in Israeli prisons.
Israel's widely condemned practice of administrative detention allows the detention of Palestinians without charge or trial for renewable intervals ranging between three and six months based on undisclosed evidence that even a detainee’s lawyer is barred from viewing.
Amnesty International has once described Israel’s use of administrative detention as a “bankrupt tactic” and has long called on Israel to bring its use to an end.
Palestinian detainees have continuously resorted to open-ended hunger strikes as a way to protest their illegal administrative detention and to demand an end to this policy, which violates international law.
