A Palestinian prisoner from Umm al-Fahm, who was hours away from release after serving an eight-month administrative detention sentence in Negev Prison, had his freedom postponed by a third administrative detention order. Lawyer Khaled Mahajna reported that the prisoner was preparing to reunite with his family when the new order was issued just hours before his scheduled release, dashing their hopes.
