The club added in a statement issued today, Sunday, that the step of the administrative detainees represented in boycotting the occupation courts, numbering about (500) administrative detainees, comes in light of a number of dangerous facts they faced during the year 2021, where the occupation authorities issued (1595) administrative detention orders against detainees. Former detainees who spent years in the occupation prisons, in addition to new detainees, under the pretext of the existence of a “secret file.”

It also practices an additional process of revenge, by implementing the decisions of the occupation intelligence, “Shin Bet.” This can be read through all the decisions issued by it in various degrees against the striking prisoners, and its decisions specifically regarding the cases of detainees who carried out hunger strikes witnessed serious transformations, with the aim of breaking this experience. .
