An urgent appeal has been filed with the court demanding the release of security personnel detained in Samaria and immediate access to legal counsel. Yossi Dagan, head of the Samaria Regional Council, expressed strong support for the detainees, condemning their arrest as "humiliating" and expressing confidence in their innocence. The appeal seeks to shorten or cancel the detention and allow the individuals to meet with their lawyers without delay.
Dagan criticized the authorities' conduct, stating that denying access to a lawyer is a "draconian tool reserved for terrorists," not for those who serve and love the country. He emphasized that while violence against the innocent is unacceptable, those who know the detainees are certain of their innocence, describing them as dedicated security personnel who work tirelessly to protect residents and have saved many lives.
Furthermore, Dagan highlighted the traumatic experience of the arrest, which occurred in the detainees' homes in front of their children. He stressed the importance of upholding their basic rights and respecting their families' dignity alongside the need to investigate the suspicions against them. Dagan called for immediate legal access for the detained individuals.
Attorneys Nati Rom and Assaf Gonen from the organization "Honenu," representing the detainees, stated that this represents an escalation in the use of draconian measures against exemplary individuals. They vowed to fight the case with all available means, asserting that the situation is not as it appears.
