The two detainees received three more months of detention without any formal charges or trials.
The two detainees were identified as Salwa Riziq Salah, 17, and Sara Yasser Saleh, 17. The Palestinian Prisoners Society (PPS) reported that Salwa and Sara were kidnapped by the army on June 5, 2008 and were immediately moved to administrative detention. The PPS slammed the Israeli violations and the continued detention of female detainees as more than 80 female detainees are still imprisoned by Israel. Some of them are mothers, others are children and a number of them are sentenced to high terms. The PPS called on the international community to intervene and release all detainees from Israeli prisons as more than 10,000 Palestinians are still imprisoned by Israel. |
