Tel Aviv, December 2 (RHC)-- The Israeli regime has issued “administrative detention” orders against as many as 91 Palestinians within just two days, jailing the victims indefinitely without evidence, charge or trial.

The development was reported on Sunday by Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network, which gathers the organizers and activists seeking out solidarity with thousands of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails.

It said lawyers, students, journalists, and organizers are among the victims, noting that they had been rounded up over Saturday and Sunday.

The network named one of the victims as Ismail Ibrahim Khalil Khabas from the city of Jenin in the north of the occupied West Bank, who was ordered an additional four months in administrative detention.

Asem Mustafa al-Shunnar, one of over 100 Palestinian journalists who have been detained by journalists, was also ordered jailed for six more months.

The network noted that the imprisonment method used by the regime featured its forces’ nabbing and jailing Palestinians based on, what Tel Aviv’s authorities call, a “secret file” that is denied to both the detainees and their lawyers.

The process is indefinitely renewable, “meaning that Palestinians routinely spend years in jail at a time, never knowing when they may be released or even why they are being held,” the body said.

“Administrative detention was first used in Palestine by the British colonial mandate and then adopted by the Zionist regime; it is now used routinely to target Palestinians, especially community leaders, activists, and influential people in their towns, camps, and villages.”

The regime currently holds more than 3,443 Palestinians under its administrative detention strategy. The inmates are part of over 10,200 Palestinians, who have been confined by the regime.

“This number does not include up to thousands of Palestinians forcibly disappeared by the genocidal invading forces of the Zionist regime and held in notorious prison camps, such as Sde Teiman,” the network said, referring to an especially notorious Israeli prison facility in the Negev Desert that has hosted perpetration of individual or mass cases of rape against Palestinians among other things.

Samidoun finally considered the United States and the regime’s other allies that serve it with untrammeled political and military support to be “fully complicit” in the mass imprisonment practice.
