Israeli occupation authorities issued administrative detention orders Wednesday affecting 45 detainees held in custody, the Commission of Prisoners' and Released Prisoners' Affairs said, Shehab Wire reported. The orders comprised both newly issued detention warrants and renewals of existing administrative detention measures already in place for other detainees.
Administrative detention allows Israeli authorities to hold Palestinians without formal charges or trial, with detention periods subject to renewal. The practice has drawn repeated criticism from international human rights organizations, which say it violates due process protections. Wednesday's orders represent a continued reliance on the administrative detention system as a tool of detention policy in the Israeli prison system.
