Rights group says Israel re-arrested recently released administrative detainee

A Palestinian human rights group said Tuesday that the Israeli authorities re-arrested Ayed Dudeen, from Dura, Hebron area, who in June was released after spending nearly four years in prison without charge or trial. Addameer Prisoners Support and Human Rights Association said that at approximately 2 a.m. on Tuesday, 50 Israeli soldiers raided Dudeen’s home in Dura and ordered the entire family out of the house while they searched and ransacked it. The soldiers broke down the door of the family’s pantry in the process and confiscated one laptop and two phones. Neither Ayed nor his family has been informed of the reasons for his arrest, and at this stage it is not known where Ayed is being held, said Addameer. “Ayed was the first case in Addameer’s recently launched Prisoners at Risk Campaign, and his re-arrest confirms that the Israeli authorities have no intention of letting him enjoy his newfound freedom after nearly 19 years in and out of prison,” it said.
