Palestinians hail UN condemnation of Israeli detention

RAMALLAH, 23 October 2022, (TON): Officials in Palestine have welcomed the UN’s appeal to Israel to end the administrative detention of Palestinian detainees.
Qadri Abu Bakr, head of the Prisoners and Ex-Prisoners Affairs Commission, lauded the UN move.
He told media "the Palestinian Authority has made similar appeals for several years and has repeatedly urged international organizations and allied countries to pressure Israel into ending the detention practice."
Abu Bakr said "Israel uses administrative detention imprisoning a person without trial for a period of six months to clamp down on Palestinian activism."
