Israeli occupation authorities issued administrative detention orders for 12 Palestinian prisoners Monday, according to Shehab Wire. The orders covered new cases and renewals of existing detentions for periods between four and six months.
Administrative detention allows Israeli authorities to hold prisoners indefinitely without presenting charges or evidence in court. Renewals of such orders are routine under Israeli military law in the occupied territories.
