Mazuz Accused of ‘Unfair’ Arrest Policy
Excerpts from article;
“Orit Struck, head of the Organization for Human Rights in Judea and Samaria, on Saturday blasted Attorney-General Menahem Mazuz for allegedly spearheading the government’s harsh arrest policy against disengagement opponents that was allegedly adopted by the Supreme Court.”
Struck’s comments followed “publication late last week of an internal document drafted by the Public Defender’s Office which charged that the courts collaborated with the government by unfairly treating opponents of disengagement to facilitate implementation of the government’s plan.”
The document charged that ‘the judicial handling of the disengagement detainees strengthens the feeling that the need to deter the plan’s opponents and to foil anyone who tried to interfere with it so as to enable [the government] to continue implementing it took precedence over basic rules that must be observed in order to conduct proper criminal procedures.'”
