An urgent appeal was filed with the court on Monday demanding the release of security personnel from the Shomron region and immediate access to legal counsel. The appeal seeks to shorten or cancel their detention, from which they have been denied meetings with their lawyers until now.
Yossi Dagan, Head of the Shomron Regional Council, publicly backed the detained individuals, condemning their arrest as "humiliating." He stated, "I protest vehemently against the humiliating arrest. Denying a meeting with a lawyer is a draconian tool reserved for terrorists, not for those who serve and love the country. These are dedicated security personnel."
Dagan further described the arrest, which occurred in the detainees' living rooms in front of their children, as a "traumatic experience." He emphasized the need to uphold the detainees' basic rights and their families' dignity while investigating the suspicions against them, calling for immediate access to legal representation.
Attorneys Nati Rom and Assaf Gonen of the Honenu organization, representing the detainees, issued a statement following the appeal's submission. They described the situation as an escalation in the use of "draconian tools against our finest youth" and vowed to fight the case with all available means, asserting that the situation is not as it appears.
