Protesters hold photos of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails during a protest against Israel's administrative detention policies in front of the building of Red Cross Foundation in Sheikh Jarrah, Jerusalem, on May 17, 2014. More than 50 protesters, most of whom are relatives or friends of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails, took part in the rally here on Saturday. Administrative detention is a policy that enables Israel to keep Palestinians in prison for renewable six-month periods without trial. According to Palestinian Ministry of Prisoners' Affairs, Israel has recently renewed the detention orders against 60 percent of Palestinian inmates who are currently under administrative detention. Israel has issued 23,000 administrative detention orders since the breakout of the Palestinian-Israeli violence in 2000, or what the Palestinians call the second Intifada. (Xinhua/Li Rui)
