On administrative detention of 500 Palestinians when they announced a boycott of Israeli military courts.

Abstract:  -

Excerpt:

Over the years, administrative detainees have employed various forms of resistance to bring about change. Hunger strikes have been one of the most common methods undertaken at hreat risl to the health and lives of the detainees. In 2021, sixty Palestinian detainess undertook hunger strikes, but nothing altered the current situation. As the detainees explained, "Our only option now is to begin our mass united resistanc emovement against the adminsitrative detentions policy after reaching a dead-end."

The boycott exposes administrative detention as one of the lynchpins of carceral control over Palestinians. The action comes at a moment whena major new report by Amnesty International is denouncing the entire violent system of apartheid which Israel has established to maintain its settler colonial regime since 1948.
