RESTRICTION SUMMARY: APAwire CLIENTS ONLY SHOTLIST: APAwire - APAwire CLIENTS ONLY, Al-Bireh.- 24 May 2022. Palestinians take part in a protest in solidarity with prisoners in Israeli jails, in front of Red Cross office in the West Bank city of Al-Bireh. 0.1 SOUNDBITE (in Arabic) Issam Bakr, coordinator of the National and Islamic Forces in the Ramallah and Al-Bireh Governorate. 0.2 SOUNDBITE (in Arabic) Kaddoura Fares, President of the Palestinian Prisoners Club. STORYLINE: 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. Palestinians and human rights groups say the administrative detention violates the right to due process since evidence is withheld from prisoners while they are held for lengthy periods without being charged, tried, or convicted. 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
