Ramallah (Agencies): The number of Palestinian detainees in Israeli occupation prisons has risen to more than 9,350, including 350 children and 90 women, as of early September. The Palestinian Prisoners’ Club stated in a bulletin that among the detainees are 3,176 administrative detainees, while the number of those classified by the occupation as “unlawful combatants” has reached 1,393. It noted that this figure does not include all detainees from Gaza, particularly those held in camps run by occupation forces. These figures indicate the continued use of administrative detention as one of the occupation’s most prominent tools of imprisonment, with thousands of Palestinians held without formal charges or trial, and detention orders subject to renewal for consecutive periods.
