Thank you for contacting me about the arrest of Mahmoud Nawajaa.
A number of my constituents have contacted me about Mr Nawajaa’s arrest and I will ensure that Ministers are made aware of this.
The UK repeatedly calls on the Israeli authorities to comply with their obligations under international law and either charge or release detainees. The UK also remains concerned about Israel’s extensive use of administrative detention which, according to international law, should be used only when security makes this absolutely necessary, rather than as routine practice and as a preventive measure.
