AL-KHALIL,(PIC)-- Detained journalist Amir Abdul Halim Abu Arafeh, 28, who is held in administrative detention at the Negev Desert prison, refused to appear before the Zionist military court last Thursday in accordance with the administrative detainees' decision to boycott these courts which try to give legitimacy to administrative detention.
The court session, that was supposed to take place last Thursday to hear the prosecution, was held to renew the prisoner's administrative detention for six more months, according to sources at Negev prison.
The same sources confirmed that the prison administration tried by force to make Abu Arafeh attend the court but he refused describing it "arbitrary and illegal". The prisoner added that his arrest was political insisting on his commitment to the decision taken by administrative detainees to boycott military courts.
