Some were held in jail without knowing the charge. Sixteen of those released were serving sentences, mostly for attacks on Israelis, according to information from the Israel Prison Service and the Palestinian Prisoners’ Association, a non-governmental organization that defends prisoners’ rights.
The remaining 23 who were released were under administrative detention, a widely criticized practice in which a detainee does not know what charge he is being held on while his case is not subject to any legal process.
