Ramallah: Israeli occupation authorities have issued administrative detention orders to 28 Palestinian detainees, placing them in jail without a charge or trial, the Palestinian Prisoners"; Society (PPS) reported on Sunday.

Six of the detainees received administrative detention orders for the first time, while the remaining 22 others received renewed administrative orders, Palestinian News Agency (WAFA) quoted the organization as saying.

Administrative detention is the imprisonment of Palestinians without charge or trial and on the basis of secret evidence for up to six-month periods, indefinitely renewable by Israeli military courts.

Israel uses administrative detention regularly as a form of collective punishment and mass detention of Palestinians, and frequently uses it when it fails to obtain confessions in interrogations of Palestinian detainees.
