Israel Supreme Court Upholds Hamas Man's Administrative Detention
(Jerusalem Post) Joanna Paraszczuk - Israel's High Court of Justice on Wednesday rejected a petition by Palestinian detainee Mahmoud Adib Mahmoud Masalani to overturn a military court ruling extending his administrative detention. Justices Edna Arbel, Neal Handel and Zvi Zilbertal said that after a careful review of the evidentiary material, they believed Masalani posed a threat to regional security and to the public. Therefore, the decision to extend his administrative detention was correct. Masalani, 38, a Hamas activist, previously served 17 years in prison for stabbing a Border Police officer in Jerusalem. Released in September 2010, he returned to work for Hamas and was rearrested in April 2011.
