The Prisoners’ Affairs Commission (PAC) and the Palestine Prisoner’s Society (PPS) have reported that a Palestinian detainee has died in Israeli detention, Al Jazeera reports.

In a joint news release, the prisoner organisations said that Mohammad Walkid Hussein Ali, 45, was a resident of the Nur Shams refugee camp in the northern occupied West Bank and had previously spent about 20 years in Israeli prisons and detention centres. Ali was detained again by Israeli forces last week.

According to the latest figures from Addameer, the Palestinian Prisoner Support and Human Rights Association, there are currently 10,200 people, including 270 children and 94 women, in Israeli prisons and detention centres.

The total includes 3,443 Palestinians placed under “administrative detention”, which allows Palestinians to be detained without charge or trial.
