Here is more information about Samer's case:
"Background
Judicial proceedings: Samer is being detained with no indictment or trial and with no time limit, in accordance with military order number 11/186 which authorizes a military council to expropriate release/pardon which the military command gives to prisoners who are suspected of violation of their terms of release not by means of conviction. This is a new amendment to the order, added less than a month before the implementation of the prisoner exchange in October 2011.
According to the order, the decision of the council to sentence the prisoner to complete his original sentence relies entirely upon confidential material, with no judicial proceedings, or the absence of the ability for any kind of defense. Samer was arrested in 2004 and held for 10 years in prison until his release. This original sentence was for 30 years.
Samers lawyers presented the military council with an objection to his arrest. The council has not yet made a decision and hasnt provided a date for giving its decision."
Technically, this is not a case of an administrative detention like we normally see, at least not the normal administrative detention scenario.
However, what international authorities find objectionable with administrative detentions is in large part due to the failure of the process to allow a defendant his due process rights under intl law. This so called new law/amendment to Israel's law suffers from similar due process defects administrative detentions suffer from. Basically, a peron is being held for prolonged periods without charges filed. There has been no new indictment here. He is allowed to see no evidence against him. He is offered no judicial proceedings. He can present no defense.
More about Samer's family:
"Personal background: Samer, 33, a resident of Al-Issawiya. The son of a family with a history of suffering. He has six brothers and two sisters. Of his brothers:
Fadi Issawi was killed during violent events following the Cave of the Patriarchs (Mearat Ha-Machpelah) massacre in 1994. Medhat Issawi was held 19 years in Israeli prisons. In June 2012, he was arrested again because of his participation in a demonstration showing solidarity with the hunger striking prisoners. Today he is being held in isolation in the Shikma Prison. Firas Issawi was arrested in the beginning of November 2012, while participating in a protest demonstrating solidarity with his brother Samers hunger strike.
Shireen Issawi is a lawyer and activist for prisoners rights. She was arrested for the entire year of 2010 and was again arrested yesterday and released to a 10 day house arrest."
Nonviolent resistance is punished the same as violent resistance by Israel. Protests subject individuals to detentions. Defending another subjects a Palestinian to detentions. There is nothing lawful under intl law about any of this.
