Israel orders 16-year-old Palestinian girl to be held for 4 months under administrative detention
Israeli authorities have placed 16-year-old Palestinian detainee Rimas Asaad Dweikat under a four-month administrative detention order after her arrest during a military raid on her home in the West Bank. Currently, 21 of the 90 women in Israeli prisons are held under similar orders, with the total number of administrative detainees exceeding 3,100, including many minors. Since 1967, over 800,000 Palestinians have been imprisoned by Israel, according to a recent UN report.
