<p>We understand that Ms Jarrar has been detained since July 2017. While we have
not raised this particular case, we remain concerned about Israel's extensive use
of administrative detention which, according to international law, should be used
only when security makes this 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, to refrain from
the use of administrative detention and either charge or release detainees.</p>
