Israel’s Ofer Military Court renewed – for the third time – the administrative detention order for 14 year-old Palestinian child, Ammar Sobhi Muhammad Abdul Karim, according to a Telegram statement by the Samidoun Prisoner Solidarity Network.
Karim was first arrested by Israeli forces in August 2024, during a raid on his family home in Abwein village near Ramallah, and has been held in administrative detention since.
The administrative detention process allows for Palestinians to be held in Israeli prisons without trial. According to Addameer, a Palestinian prisoner support group and human rights organisation, there are approximately 3,500 Palestinians being held in administrative detention at the moment.
Karim is “considered the youngest administrative detainee in the occupation’s prisons,” according to Samidoun.
