Administrative Detention: Israel’s Way of Bypassing Justice

[Ropey]

This law may be a lesser evil for the Israeli occupyers...but the UN has condemned these acts...in fact Israeli PM's including Natenyahu have avoided certain countries for fear of arrest of War Crimes...

And someday they will pay, just like the former Nazis do today.

It's the lesser evil to the Palestinians.
For example if it were the Palestinians making the arrests they would just murder the suspects. Just like they did with Fatah. No Judicial proceedings, no proof of guilt just a bullet in the head in the open street.

It is illegal in Palestine.

Your funny, "Administrative detention" is illegal in Palestine , however the slaughter of fellow Palestinians on the streets without Judicial proceeding is perfectly OK.

These inconsistencies are the proof of the wish to destroy Israel.

These inconsistencies are still the proof of your wish to destroy Israel and not find Western peace.

GAZA, (PIC)-- Palestinian ministry for prisoners affairs hailed Amnesty International for condemning Israel's administrative detention of female hunger striker Hana Shalabi and demanding its immediate release.

Amnesty's deputy director of middle east and north Africa program Ann Harrison stated a few days ago that Israel has no right to detain any Palestinian without any guilt and demanded Israel to release Shalabi immediately or charge her with a criminal offense recognizable under international law.

Washington Post: Israel's Example Of Democracy

NO ONE would say that Israel is soft on terrorism, which makes it all the more fascinating that a country that essentially lives under siege provides so many legal accommodations to those it detains as unlawful combatants. It's a stark contrast to the Bush administration's approach and one the administration may be able to learn from.

In Israel, even noncitizens captured outside the country and designated unlawful combatants are entitled to due process in Israeli civilian courts. They are guaranteed judicial review of their detention within 14 days of capture. They are guaranteed the services of a lawyer no later than 34 days after capture. And they are guaranteed a review of their detention by an Israeli district court judge every six months thereafter. If an unlawful combatant is captured in the occupied territories of the West Bank, the case proceeds through Israeli military courts, with similar guarantees of judicial review and legal representation.

The Israeli system is not without critics. Advocates of civil liberties there point to procedures that allow a judge to review evidence introduced by the government that the defense has not seen or been allowed to rebut. And detainee advocates, such as the Israeli group HaMoked, suggest that the government enjoys an overwhelming advantage, as evidenced by the relatively few detentions that have been forbidden by judges. According to its Web site, the group challenged 142 detentions in 2004; 11 of those challenges prevailed.

Nothing in the Israeli system prevents a lengthy and potentially indefinite detention of an enemy combatant. But unlike the state of play in the United States, the Israeli Supreme Court has ruled that these combatants can be held only so long as the state can prove they are an imminent danger. If the state fails to make that case, the detainees must be released. According to the Israeli law professors, these safeguards have not clogged the nation's courts -- or prevented Israeli security forces from defending the country.

Israel's Example

The Palestinians want equal rights for all.

No problem, they have all palistan for all their equal rights thumping, but no, they want "equal rights" in Israel, like having palistan and Israel too, and that's one country too many, of course.

RAMALLAH,(pic)-- A Zionist court decided to renew the administrative detention, without trial or charge, of Mahmoud Al-Ramahi, secretary of the Palestinian legislative council (PLC) for four more months.

The court's decision came after postponing on 13 March for two weeks before it has been renewed for another four months for the fourth time running, explained the Change and Reform Bloc.

Ramahi was arrested in 2006 and he had sentenced to 40 months. Then he was re-arrested and detained administratively for 16 months and he remains detained in occupation jails with 23 other MPS of the Charge and Reform bloc headed by Dr. Aziz Dweik, head of the Palestinian Legislative Council, all spending different periods of administrative detention.

I would guess nothing. They charged him with nothing.

"Guess" being the operating word here ...
However I agree that Administrative detention is wrong ....
On the other hand there would never had to be the need for such detentions if there were peace.

Then he'll get nothing except three hots and a cot. None of those legistrators deserve to breathe fresh air. BTW, has Shalabi starved herself to death yet?
