Local Editor
The ‘Israeli' apartheid regime detained more Palestinians without trial at the beginning of August than during any other month this year, according to the Palestinian Prisoners Society.
The NGO, which supports Palestinians incarcerated in ‘Israeli' prisons, and their families, had no explanation for the sudden surge in the number of individuals under what is called administrative detention.
During the first 16 days of August, it was reported, the occupation regime issued new orders for 47 individuals to be incarcerated without trial and without charges being filed against them.
By comparison, only 37 such orders were issued in all of March, 19 in June, and 20 in July.
Including extensions through August of existing orders from previous months, the Zionist regime handed down a total of 84 administrative detention orders during those 16 days - compared to a total of 91 new and extended orders for all of January, 111 in March, and 97 in July, according to the prisoners' organization.
Meanwhile, a total of some 400 Palestinians are being held in jails in the occupied territories under these circumstances at present.
