OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)-- The Israeli occupation authority (IOA) has extended the administrative detention of Raja' Al-Ghoul, the director of the prisoners' center for studies in Jenin, for the second time running.

Ghoul, 38, is held in the Sharon prison where she is suffering from deliberate medical neglect on the part of the prison administration despite her heart ailment.

Relatives of the director, whose detention was being renewed for three months, appealed to human rights groups to intervene to put an end to her pain and to allow her to undergo a heart surgery.
