| Amin Abu Warda |
Ahmed Al-Beitawi, from the Tadamun foundation for human rights has said that the Israeli Occupation Authority (IOA) will extend the administrative detention of journalist Amin Abu Warda for five months.
Al-Beitawi said that the IOA will transfer Amin Abu Warda, who is currently in Majodou prison, to administrative detention for five months starting from 8th of February 2012, concluding the period that he has already spent in prison.
Israeli forces arrested the 46 year-old journalist, Abu Warda, on 28th December 2011 after they raided his house in Jerusalem Street, east of Nablus. They also raided his office and confiscated his laptop and some of his personal papers.
Al-Beitawi said that the decision to transfer Abu Warda to the illegal administrative detention, 40 days after his continuous interrogation in Betah center, is considered to be evidence that the Israeli intelligence has no charges against Abu Warda as they also asked him about things that had happened 30 years ago, when he was a child, which shows that the Israeli Authority has nothing to accuse him of.
Abu Warda has an MA degree in Media Studies and is now studying for a PHD in Malaysia. Abu Warda works as an instructor in the An-Najah National University and as a reporter for PNN and the Gulf Emirates newspaper.
At the same time, the Israeli court renewed the detention of two other administrative prisoners: Ahmad Malaysha from Jenin for another three months and Laith Atele from Tul-Karem for another six months.
