Palestinians attend a press conference about the sick and hunger strike prisoners, in the West Bank of Ramallah. 0.1 SOUNDBITE (in Arabic) Mai Al-Kila / Minister of Health 0.2 SOUNDBITE (in Arabic) Qadri Abu Bakr/ Head of the Prisoners and Ex-Prisoners Affairs Commission. 0.3 SOUNDBITE (in Arabic) Kaddoura Fares / President of the Prisoner Club. STORYLINE: Israel’s widely condemned policy of administrative detention allows the detention of Palestinians without charge or trial for renewable intervals usually ranging between three and six months based on undisclosed evidence that even a detainee’s lawyer is barred from viewing. Currently, Israel is holding over 500 Palestinians in administrative detention, deemed illegal by international law, most of them former prisoners who spent years in prison for their resistance of the Israeli occupation. Amnesty International, has described Israel's administrative detention policy as a “cruel, unjust practice which helps maintain Israel’s system of apartheid against Palestinians.” Footage by /APA
