Two homes, a sheep pen, olive saplings and a dam. What more shall we demolish?

The practice of `administrative detention` is a blatant contradiction of the principle of fairness of the legal system.

On December 26, 2013, writer Ahmad Qtamash was released from administrative detention, having spent seven years (accumulated) in prison! No sufficient evidence had been provided to convict him in court.

Since his release, Qtamash has not been politically active. On May 17, 2017 the Israeli military commander of the West Bank issued an order of administrative detention against him for another three months.
