IOA renews administrative detention of MP Rejoub for fourth time

AL-KHALIL, (PIC)-- The Israeli occupation authority has renewed the administrative detention of MP Nayef Al-Rejoub for six months for the fourth time running, his son said on Monday. He said that the Negev prison administration informed his father of the decision despite the fact that his past detention order still ends after 17 days on 1st June. He said that the early decision was a clear indication that the Israeli prison servicewas eluding the agreement announced earlier on Monday with the Palestinian prisoners, who have been on hunger strike for four weeks, not to renew administrative detention among other articles. The IOA had arrested MP Rejoub in 2010 and renewed his administrative detention, without charge, on three previous occasions each time for a period of six months. A PIC reporter said that the Negev prison administration had renewed the administrative custody of a number of other prisoners.
