‘Administrative detention’: Israelis skip due process
Doug Struck, Sun staff correspondent
Transcribed from the clipping
“JERUSALEM — He still does not know the crime that sent him to a prison camp in the desert, said Jad Isaac. He is Palestinian, and that is offense enough, he said. Dr. Isaac is a professor of biochemistry at Bethlehem University and was placed under ‘administrative detention’ by Israeli authorities in 1988… Mr. Nusseibeh’s arrest has again drawn attention to the detention procedure that has been used by Israeli authorities to imprison 14,000 Palestinians or their supporters in the past three years, according to the military’s own count. An arrest under administrative detention requires little more than the signature of a military officer. There are no charges. There is no trial.”
