Administrative Detention: Israel’s Way of Bypassing Justice

[P F Tinmore]

The Ad-Dameer Prisoner Support and Human Rights Association reported, Monday, that there are 23 detainees who are currently on hunger-strike protesting the illegal policies of Administrative Detention used by Israel to keep hundreds of detainees behind bars without charges.

“The time has come to end this illegal policy, to stop the so-called secret files that keep the detainees imprisoned without charges under the pretext of posing danger to the state”, detainee Mohammad Abu Arab, 23, from the Balata refugee camp in Nablus, said while at the Ofer Military Court on Monday.

Abu Arab further stated that all detainees, except those who are elderly, or sick, will be participating in the strike. The detainees will also be boycotting Israeli military courts, while administrative detention detainees will be boycotting the special administrative courts.

The case of Abu Arab is similar to many other cases; he was kidnapped in August of 2010, and was sentenced to one year, but just hours before he was supposed to be released, a 6-month administrative detention order was served against him, and when the six months were over, he received a similar order.

Abu Arab, a student at the Arts Academy at the An-Najah University in the northern West Bank city of Nablus, was previously imprisoned for three years.

Palestinian Minister of Detainees, Issa Qaraqe’, stated on Monday evening that hunger-striking detainee Hana’ Ash-Shalabi, who has been on hunger strike since 34 days, was moved to Meir Israeli Hospital, in Kfar Saba, after a sharp deterioration in her health condition.

He further stated that the physicians determined that Ash-Shalabi is unable to stand, nauseated, suffering from pain in her abdomen, headache, her heartbeats are slower than they should be, and low sugar levels.

Ash-Shalabi is demanding the Israeli Authorities to release her as she is being held without charges or trial.

And you know all that from that picture ?
Wow you have a keen sense of observation.

Thanks, I like to keep up, you should try it sometime

If you really liked to keep up, you would be aware that many of those terrorists released went right back to terrorism. Open your eyes for once.

If that were true in this case, she would by charged with that and allowed to defend herself in a court of Law, that isnt happening

 

[Ropey]

Well guess what ?
If there were no suicide bombings or terrorist attacks there would be 0 Palestinian prisoners. And this law would have never existed.

Whenever Palestinians would think that building their own future is more important then destroying Israel's this law will become unnecessary.
But the Palestinians actively planing to commit terrorist attacks within Israel, a law such as this is the lesser evil.

This law may be a lesser evil for the Israeli occupyers...but the UN has condemned these acts...in fact Israeli PM's including Natenyahu have avoided certain countries for fear of arrest of War Crimes...

And someday they will pay, just like the former Nazis do today.

It's the lesser evil to the Palestinians.
For example if it were the Palestinians making the arrests they would just murder the suspects. Just like they did with Fatah. No Judicial proceedings, no proof of guilt just a bullet in the head in the open street.

Administrative detention is controversial but not uncommon. Several other democracies use it in cases involving security or illegal immigration, including Australia, Ireland, UK, US and India.

It is illegal in Palestine.

Your funny, "Administrative detention" is illegal in Palestine , however the slaughter of fellow Palestinians on the streets without Judicial proceeding is perfectly OK.

These inconsistencies are the proof of the wish to destroy Israel.

Amnesty International on Friday urged Israeli authorities to release Palestinian prisoner Hanaa al-Shalabi who has been on hunger strike for more than a month, saying she was "at risk of death."

The watchdog said Shalabi should be "immediately" released or charged "with a recognisable criminal offence" and "promptly" put on trial.

"The woman could die in detention after 37 days on hunger strike," Amnesty said in a statement.

She "alledgedly" is a Jihadist. What in hell does that mean? Why was she re-arrested? Maybe she's trying to set a world record of fasting. Or she is trying to lose enough weight to slip thru the bars and escape. You know how devious those Islamic jihadists are.

RAMALLAH, (PIC)-- The Israeli military court of appeals in Ofer detention center near Ramallah has turned down a request by lawyer of Hana’a Shalabi for her release despite being on hunger strike for the past 40 days.

The Palestinian prisoner’s society said in a statement on Sunday that the appeal was against her four months administrative detention.

It was this Arab woman's prerogative to go on a hunger strike. How about people who are thrown into jail in Muslim countries on an alleged charge of blasphemy? I know you will sign this petition, Tinny, to get her freed because we know that you are a great humanitarian. A Call for Mercy - The Voice of the Martyrs
And, of course, we know you felt sorrow for that Muslim politician who was gunned down because he was trying to help this woman and that you felt disgust at the Muslims in Pakistan who showered his killer with flower petals.

Ramallah – There is no doubt that the historic hunger strike by Palestinian prisoner Khader Adnan, a leading member of Islamic Jihad – which lasted for 66 days – cast a light on the injustice of the occupation’s administrative detention law.

Oh, islamski jihadski! Who could've thought!

So , if a prisoner is on hunger strike for 40 days he\she should be released ?
I'm sure prisoners on death row in the US never heard this news bulletin .

That is only part of the story. She is being held without charge. If she did not break any law then why is she in prison?

You are saying that she should be released because she didn't break any laws ... Yet your post is saying that she should be released because she is on a hunger strike ...

The hunger strike (Which is the whole case of your post) is irrelevant.

Palestinian prisoners are not news. A dedicated hunger strike is news. It brings the issue of illegal detention to the people. There is a definite link between the two.
