Israel detains hundreds of African asylum seekers without trial every year, with the approval of its top authorities, the Haaretz daily reported, citing data released recently.<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
\n

\n\tNew official figures show that the Israeli regime has put a total of 311 African refugees behind bars without trial in the past 15 months, Press TV cited the paper\u00a0said on Sunday.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n\tAccording to the figures, 223 Eritrean and Sudanese refugees were held without trial at the request of Israeli police between January 2016 and March 2017 and an additional 88 remained in detention after serving out prison sentences.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n\tIsraeli authorities justify the detentions by a law\u00a0that allows the confinement of an individual whose release allegedly\u00a0endangers their\u00a0security, public safety or public health.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n\tIsrael’s top court\u00a0has criticized the practice of denying freedom to the refugees who cannot be deported legally but has not prohibited the refugees\u2019 detention without trial.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n\tExecutive director of the Hotline for Refugees and Migrant Workers, a\u00a0human rights organization, said\u00a0Israel had deprived 311 people of the right to due process over the past months.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThat means 311 people did not receive legal counsel or representation and were not brought to court,\u201d\u00a0Reut Michaeli said.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n\tTel Aviv \u201ccreated a separate justice system for people with a different skin color. … If you\u2019re an African asylum seeker, your liberty is simply worth less,\u201d she added.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n\tMeanwhile, Michal Pomerantz, a lawyer representing an African refugee in Israeli detention, said placing refugees under the so-called administrative detention instead of taking them through legal criminal proceedings infringes on their rights to fair trial.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n\tThe detention is a form of imprisonment without trial or charge that allows Israel to incarcerate people for up to six months.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n\tPomerantz further noted that Israel denies refugees the right to a public defender and to court supervision.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThis is especially egregious in light of the fact that these are people who cannot afford a private lawyer and cannot defend themselves.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
