Barak: Supreme Court Needs New Judges
Excerpts:
“During his speech Friday, the Supreme Court head dismissed allegations by the public defender’s office that the courts had taken harsh measures against arrested opponents of the disengagement brought before them, because they were bent on helping the government implement the plan.”
“‘I think the public defender’s report was superficial,’ Barak said. ‘I think that the Supreme Court and the [criminal] courts did a good job and were fair and objective under difficult circumstances.'”
“Barak also rejected charges that the courts had created new legal rules to deal harshly with the protesters.”
