Jerusalem

description: 
The military courtroom in Jerusalem
is located in the Israel Police building in the Russian Compound, in
the centre of the city. It holds hearings on remand extensions for
detainees undergoing Shabak interrogation. The courtroom is clean and
air conditioned. The handling of detainees falls into a number of
categories: one classification (Nachshon) brings detainees from the
prisons where they are being held, Prison Service warders guard them
while here, and Jerusalem policemen serve as prosecutors. Some of the
detainees brought here are prohibited from meeting with their lawyers
from the moment of their arrest, and defense counsel is not present in
their courtroom hearings. The military court functions in accordance
with the law in force in the Territories.
Only
a few family members succeed in getting passes to come from the West
Bank for hearings in Jerusalem. The hearings take place on Mondays and
Thursdays
