9 Nov. '08:Army extends administrative detention of two minors

On 2 November, a military court of appeals judge in Ofer Military Base denied the appeal of Salwa Salah and Sareh a-Siuri, both seventeen years old, to overturn renewal of the administrative detention orders issued against them.

The two were arrested in the middle of the night in June and have been held in administrative detention in Israel since then. In October, the army renewed the detention order until 3 January 2009. B'Tselem calls on the army to release the two girls immediately or, if it has evidence against them, to prosecute them as provided by law.
