1,000 Palestinian prisoners in extended detention without trial
An article on the state of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails indicates that nearly 6,000 Palestinians are being held prisoner. About 1,000 are being held under laws which allow "extended detention" without trial.
Yes, these "democracies" and their increasingly common habit of holding foreign nationals - or in the case of Palestinians, foreign non-nationals - in prisons with little or no possibility of trials or ever being free again. Who wouldn't believe in "the system"?
