Russian Compound, Monday, 30.10.06 AMObservers: Michal Z, Chava H (reporting)Guest: Doron B Deliberations began with an hour’s delay, which Advc. Juad Boulous protested to the judge. In response, the judge, Major Fleishman, commented about the attorney’s dress (he was wearing a blue shirt and a sports jacket) and said that next time he would send Boulous to put on a white shirtand tie. The judge was also interested in the guest who accompanied us – far more interested than he ever had been in us. In general it appears that the level of hostility to us grows each time, and on the few questions asked by the guest, the police investigator responded with the routine answer: I don’t owe you any response.Suleiman HadiratA young man whose attorney did not arrive this time. He has been detained for a month, since 25.9.06. The prosecutor is asking for another 18 days, and the detainee is requesting that they submit an indictment so that he can what is the accusation.From the judge’s ruling we learn that he had contact with a hostile organisation through the internet. He requested money to finance establishment of a team. Since he did not receive the money, the team was not created. From these reasons – according to the judge – a suspicion arises to connect him with danger to the public security. Two confessions hgad been elicited from him.The decision: extension of remand by seven days. Then he will be brought to Ofer for submission of an indictment and he is not to be brought again for extension of remand in custody.Salame Aref MunzarThe prosecution is requesting 11 days, and the detainee agrees.He was a member in the Popular Front and moved over to the Democratic Front. Took part in throwing Molotov cocktails and stones at an IDF vehicle together with others. On next Thursday, 9.11.06, he will be moved to Ofer for submission of indictment.Mahmoud Awad Taufiq DamaraWe wrote about him on 11.9.06. He is head of the Presidential Guard in the Palestinian Authority, and the prosecution ascribes to him serious suspicions, which are not known to us or to his attorney (who has changed meanwhile).They are serious even though, according to the secret report, the actions took place a few years ago. By virtue of his position, there was agreement between Israeli and Palestinian security that he could move freely in the Territories, but now suddenly, after the detention of Authority personnel, he has also been arrested for old suspicions. We will try to talk to his attorney – Juad Boulous – and to follow up on the trial.

    • Ofer The Military Court in the Ofer camp is located halfway between Ramallah and Jerusalem. The place has seven courtrooms, most of them spacious. This court is one of two courts of the "first instance", in addition to the military court in Salem. Here are the Palestinian hearings trials and some of the hearings in detention extensions. In addition, there is also a military court of appeals (on rulings of the courts of 'the first instance' in Salem and Ofer). Family members of detainees from the territories (usually only two family members) are allowed to enter the hearings but are prohibited from talking to the detainees. The families have at their disposal a waiting yard and a large, air-conditioned waiting room.
