answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/11/2018 answer text <p>We have not raised the case of Ms Khalida Jarrar with the Israeli authorities. We remain concerned about Israel’s extensive use of administrative detention. According to international law, this should be used only when security makes it absolutely necessary rather than as routine practice, and as a preventive rather than a punitive measure. We continue to call on the Israeli authorities to comply with their obligations under international law and either charge or release detainees.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 08/11/2018 13:50:05 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
