The Palestinian Prisoners’ Society (PPS) said an administrative detention order of four months was issued against Mohammad Ismail Al-Tel, a PLC member from Hebron city, adding that he previously served years under administrative detention.
The PPS said among the detention orders, 14 were issued against prisoners detained for the first time or re-detained after their release.
There are 6,500 Palestinian political prisoners in Israeli prisons, 536 of them administrative detainees and four PLC members, according to the Palestinian Prisoner Support and Human Rights Association.
