JENIN, (PIC)-- The Israeli occupation authority (IOA) renewed for the sixth time the administrative detention of Sheikh Bassam Al-Saadi, a senior Islamic Jihad leader in Jenin, after spending six years in Israeli jails. The wife of Sheikh Saadi said that the IOA extended his detention on the last day, where he was expected to be released on Tuesday, adding that her husbanded was suppressed for two days in Salek prison and locked up in solitary confinement. For its part, the prisoners’ center for studies called on all organizations concerned with the issue of prisoners to pool their efforts to support all administrative prisoners and get them released. Ra’fat Hamdouna, the director of the center, said that the Palestinian prisoners in administrative detention do not know the end of their sentences and when they will be released, but they stay hostages to the secret intelligence files presented by Israeli prosecutors to Israeli courts without allowing them or their lawyers to have access to these files.
