The Palestinian Prisoners’ Club says the number of female prisoners “administratively” detained by Israel has risen to 25.
So-called administrative detainees are arrested on “secret evidence”, unaware of the accusations against them, and are not allowed to defend themselves in court. They are usually held for renewable six-month periods that often lead to years in detention.
Among the administratively detained female prisoners are four female journalists and a lawyer.
