There are currently 650 Palestinians being held in Israeli prisons without trial, among them women and children. In the last decade, charges have been brought against only 5 percent of administrative detainees. Thousands of Palestinian prisoners have spent various amounts of time in jail – between half a year and 5 years (!) without sufficient evidence to put them on trial. The ease with which a person can be put in jail with no due process - without any proof nor accountability to the defendant, the courts or the public - has made administrative detention a method of political oppression that is in no way connected to public safety or national security. The number of administrative detainees has tripled over the last two years and among them are many social and political activists, including 5 journalists. The press, for the most part, has been silent. Under the cover of our silence, administrative detention has become another tool that enables the continuation of the occupation. I have decided to stop being silent and I expect the press to fulfill its duty and shed light on the topic of administrative detention.
