The Israeli occupation military courts confirmed 41 more administrative detention orders against Palestinian political prisoners in the latter half of December 2017. There are currently over 450 Palestinians imprisoned without charge or trial under administrative detention orders.

Administrative detention orders are indefinitely renewable and are issued for one to six months at a time. Palestinians have spent years consecutively jailed with no charge and no trial under repeatedly renewed administrative detention orders. An artifact of the British colonial mandate over Palestine, Israeli administrative detention orders are used systematically to target community leaders and Palestinian activists.

Among the Palestinians subject to administrative detention orders in late December was Khalida Jarrar, the prominent Palestinian leftist leader and member of the Palestinian Legislative Council, whose imprisonment without charge or trial was renewed for an additional six months.

Also among the Palestinian prisoners whose detention was renewed were two former long-term hunger strikers, Akram al-Fassisi and Anas Shadid. The detention of Fassisi, 34, was renewed for the fourth time for four months; he has been imprisoned without charge or trial since 19 September 2016 – only months after his prior release, also from administrative detention without charge or trial. During previous administrative detentions, he won his freedom in two lengthy hunger strikes. Shadid, 21, was also subject to another six-month administrative detention order. Detained for nine months without charge or trial, he won his release after an 88-day hunger strike in May 2017. He was re-arrested only 27 days after his release, on 14 June, and ordered jailed once more without charge or trial.
