Occupation Disavows Obligation To End Admin Arrest

Occupation Disavows Obligation To End Admin Arrest

28 May 2012

Jawad Amawi, lawyer of Palestinian Ministry of Detainees and Ex- Detainees Affairs, told Ahrar-Wledna’s reporter that the Israeli prosecution disavows its earlier statements regarding its obligation to end administrative detention based on the recent agreement with Palestinian prisoners to end their hunger strike.

Amawi revealed that the occupation prosecution has lately extended the administrative detention of 30 administratively-detained prisoners after signing the agreement to end the hunger strike.

The prosecution claimed that the agreement does not include the administrative detainees; however, it admitted that the extension of the administrative detention of the 30 prisoners mentioned above is not based on any new security reasons, rather it is based on their same old security file.

The lawyer pointed out that the extension of the administrative detention of those 30 prisoners is considered a brutal violation of the agreement with hunger-striking prisoners.

He called on the Egyptian mediator to intervene, to prevent the deterioration of the situation inside occupation prisons as a result of this disavowal of the article of the agreement.

Amawi indicated that prisoner Dirar Abu Sisi will announce a hunger strike if the prison service does not end his solitary confinement.

It is worth mentioning that among the prisoners whose administrative detention was extended are four members of the Palestinian Parliament; namely, Khalid Abu Tafish, Nayif Er-Rujoub, Hassan Yousuf and Mohammad En-Natsheh.
