The Military Court at Kishon Detention Centre, Jalame, is
located inside the compound of Kishon Police Remand Centre, close to
Ha-Amakim junction near kibutz Yagur. It has one well equipped and air
conditioned courtroom. The centre holds detainees from the Occupied
Territories, and the Shabak interrogates them here. The court only
hears remand extensions of detainees being interrogated, prior to
submission of indictments. Some of the detainees are not represented by
attorneys; the majority is represented by counsel from Palestinian
foundations ; a few are represented by private counsel, including from
Israel. Some of the detainees brought here are prohibited from meeting
with their lawyers from the moment of their arrest, and defense counsel
are not present in their courtroom hearings.

The court functions in accordance with the law in force in the Territories.

Because the court is located within Israel, it is very difficult for
family members and lawyers from the West Bank to attend hearings –
which only take place on Tuesdays
