After the purported kidnapping attempt of the three Israeli settlers in Hebron on July 12, 2014, Israel escalated the use of administrative detentions. The number of prisoners reached approximately 500 by the end of 2014 – an increase of 245 per cent.
[Head of the PLO’s Authority of Prisoners’ Affairs Abdul-Nasser] Farawana called on the international community and international human rights organisations to put pressure on Israel to end this detention policy, which contradicts all international laws and conventions.
