The occupation authorities turned to the policy of administrative arrests which is based on weak confidential evidence and intelligence information to detain a person and shut the hopes of defending him in the Israeli courts.
The administrative arrest orders recently increased against Jerusalemites in an attempt to slow down the Palestinians’ rise and break their steadfastness party of the policy of collective punishment practiced against Jerusalemites. Wadi Hilweh Information Center explained that the occupation authorities transferred 23 Jerusalemites including three minors to administrative arrest during one week following an order from the Minister of Occupation Army.
The center added that the Jerusalemite young men who were transferred to administrative arrest are from the village of Esawyeh, Silwan, Old City of Jerusalem, Sur Baher and Jabal Al-Mukabber; note that freed prisoners are among them.
The center also pointed out that transferring several prisoners to administrative arrest falls within the collective punishment policy recently practiced against Jerusalemites. Abdel Salam Abu Ghazaleh, father of Martyr Thaer Abu Ghazaleh, was transferred to administrative arrest while his son’s body is still being detained who passed away on the 8th of the current month in Tel Aviv after being shot under the pretext of carrying out a stabbing attack.
Also, the brother of prisoner Shurouq Dwayyat was also transferred to administrative arrest. Shurouq was accused of attempting to stab a settler in the Old City of Jerusalem on the 7th of October and was injured in her shoulder; she underwent a surgery and is currently imprisoned in Hasharon prison.
Lawyer Mohammad Mahmoud explained that the “administrative arrest” law was implemented during the British Mandate in the Palestinian lands and the occupation authorities are currently implementing this law against Palestinians following the orders of the Minister of Occupation Army when a Palestinian is arrested and the evidence against him aren’t enough to submit an indictment against him.
The lawyer added that arrested any person is based on intelligence information or testimonies by others or both combined but the evidence is weak and isn’t enough to submit an indictment. If the indictment gets submitted, the judge will decide to acquit the detainee and release him; that’s why the administrative arrest law us used.
Lawyer Mahmoud also explained that the public prosecution claims that the case is confidential to prevent the lawyer from defending the detainee or even looking at his file. Administrative arrest is imposed without any charges or trial and is based on “confidential” evidence that can’t be revealed to maintain the safety of the information’s sources.
He added: “After the Minister of Occupation Army issues the decision of administrative arrest, the public prosecution submits a request to the District Court within 48 hours to confirm the decision. The possibility of rejecting the request by the court is very minimal.”
The lawyer explained that a group of young Jerusalemite men were transferred last year to administrative arrest while more than 20 Jerusalemites were transferred to administrative arrest for periods between 3 and 6 months during the last few days; note that the periods are renewable.

Israeli police informed Fadi Hasan Abassi, 17, on October 20 that Israel’s Defense Minister, Moshe Ya’alon, issued an administrative detention order against him for up to six months.
Israeli authorities placed three Palestinian teenagers from East Jerusalem under administrative detention last week, the first time the measure has been used against Palestinian minors in nearly four years.In the early hours of October 19, Israeli forces arrested Fadi Hasan Abassi, 17, and Mohammad Saleh Ghaith, 17, from their homes in the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Silwan. They transferred the teenagers to Oz police station in the East Talpiot settlement, also known as Armon HaNetziv, in East Jerusalem. Abassi and Ghaith told Defense for Children International - Palestine that interrogators accused them of throwing stones at Israeli police vehicles, which they both denied. They appeared before the Jerusalem Magistrate Court separately on different dates and the judge extended their detention.
Israeli police informed Abassi on October 20 that Israel’s Defense Minister, Moshe Ya’alon, issued an administrative detention order authorizing his imprisonment for up to six months. On October 21, Israeli authorities notified Ghaith and his lawyer that a three-month administrative detention order was issued against him.
Israeli forces also arrested Kathem Mahmoud Sbaih, 17, in a predawn October 16 raid on his home in the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Jabel Mukaber. His father, Mahmoud Sbaih, told DCIP that an Israeli court upheld the three-month administrative detention order against his son on Monday. Administrative detention is the imprisonment of individuals by the state for prolonged periods without charge or trial.
“We are deeply disturbed that Israeli authorities have approved the detention of these three boys without charge or trial,” said Ayed Abu Eqtaish, Accountability Program director at DCIP. “Administrative detention must never be used as a substitute for criminal prosecution where there is insufficient evidence to obtain a conviction.”
Israeli forces transferred both Abassi and Ghaith to Mascobiyya interrogation and detention center in Jerusalem. On October 25, the two teenagers appeared before the Jerusalem District Court to confirm their detention orders, however, the presiding judge postponed the ruling until October 28.
According to sworn testimonies collected by DCIP, Israeli interrogators did not properly inform the Abassi and Ghaith of their right to remain silent or allow them to consult a lawyer prior to interrogation. Neither of them had a parent or family member present during interrogation.
In Jerusalem, Israeli authorities rely on Israel’s Emergency Powers Law to authorize the use of administrative detention. According to DCIP documentation dating back to 2000, Jerusalem minors had not previously been subject to administrative detention.
In the occupied West Bank, where military law applies to the Palestinian population only, Israeli Military Order 1651 permits administrative detention for a period of up to six months, subject to indefinite renewals. No Palestinian child from the West Bank has been held under administrative detention since December 2011.
According to Addameer, a Palestinian prisoner rights group, at the end of September 2015, 343 Palestinians were held under administrative detention in Israeli prisons.
Tensions over access to the Al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem’s Old City escalated into lethal attacks across East Jerusalem and the rest of the occupied West Bank. The mosque lies in a compound known to Muslims as the Noble Sanctuary and to Jews as the Temple Mount. Both faiths consider the site sacred.
The move comes as Israeli ministers approved harsher sentencing guidelines and fines for stone-throwers.
Since October, DCIP has confirmed that Israeli forces killed at least 12 Palestinian children in separate incidents across the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip.
International juvenile justice standards, which Israel has obliged itself to implement by signing the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child in 1991, demand that children should never be deprived of their liberty arbitrarily and their detention must be a measure of last resort.
