Israel must end administrative detention: Hana Shalabi
The Israeli policy of administrative detention must end, says a female Palestinian prisoner recently released from an Israeli jail in the occupied West Bank, Press TV reports.
Hana Shalabi told Press TV on Tuesday the policy of administrative detention exercised by the Tel Aviv regime against Palestinian prisoners must end. The released Palestinian prisoner also called on the international community to support inmates who are on hunger strike in Israeli jails.
The Tel Aviv regime released Shalabi on April 1, weeks after she was re-arrested at her West Bank home. The female Palestinian prisoner went on a hunger strike after she was re-arrested without charge on February 16. The freed prisoner is currently under treatment in Gaza City. Shalabi, who is from the city of Jenin in the northern occupied West Bank, had been under “administrative detention,” according to her lawyers. She is one of the Palestinian inmates that were freed from Israeli jails in October and December 2011 under a deal mediated by Egypt to free 1,027 Palestinian inmates in exchange for Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit.
