Abstract

This study portrays the administrative detainees in one section of Ansar 3, a detention camp in the heart of the Negev desert. Ansar 3 was opened in March 1988 by the Israeli authorities to accomodate the large number of West Bankers and Gazans issued six-month administrative detention orders. The study was conducted during the end of October 1988, at which time the author was spending a six-month administrative detention at Ansar 3. It describes the educational background of the detainees, their geographical and age distribution, their socio-economic background, and gives some information about the arrest and appeals. (DÜI-Hns)
