Protesters held on terror charges made to undergo strip search after meeting with Labor lawmaker
|
[IsraelTimes] The four anti-government protesters charged with terrorism for allegedly firing lit flares at Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Caesarea home last month were subjected to a full strip search after meeting with Labor MK Gilad Kariv last week, Hebrew media reports.
According to Channel 12, the Israel Prison Services ordered the strip search on suspicion that Kariv had smuggled them a communications device or similar contraband when visiting on Thursday. However, speaking to the Kan public broadcaster, Kariv says he was scanned for weapons and other suspicious items before entering the prison facility.
Kariv, in a statement responding to the report, accuses the IPS of “deliberately thwarting the ability to carry out parliamentary oversight of the conditions of detention” and says that the reported incident is proof that the categorization of the detainees as security prisoners “severely violates their rights.”
The Public Defender’s Office in response says that being strip searched “is a harsh, humiliating and degrading act.”
“The Public Defender’s has previously criticized the inappropriate phenomenon of unnecessary strip searches,” it continues. “Even in instances where the Prison Service has the legal authority to conduct a strip search on a person in custody, this should only be done when appropriate, when there is a real suspicion of the transfer of prohibited substances.
“Even when a person loses his freedom, he does not lose his dignity,” it adds.
They’ve demonstrated they aren’t trustworthy. Therefore they are not trusted.
