SALFIT, (PIC)-- The Israeli occupation authority has extended the administration detention without trial or charge of Ibrahim Madi, director of the PLC office in Salfit, for the sixth consecutive time.

The IOA court in Negev jail renewed the detention of Madi for four renewable months without giving any reason.

The family of the detainee denounced the court ruling, and asked for his immediate release since no charges were leveled against him.

Madi had previously served 13 years in occupation jails and was kidnapped in June 2006 and held in administrative detention since then.

In a similar incident, the court in Ofer prison near Ramallah turned down a lawyer's appeal against the detention of the Palestinian student Ahmed Qa'ud, who hails from Kufr Al-Dik west of Salift.

The military court extended the detention of the Najah University student for four months for the fourth time running without any charge being leveled against him.
