A district court has shortened the period during which two security guards from the West Bank settlement of Shomron, arrested early Sunday morning as part of a Shin Bet investigation, were barred from meeting with their lawyers. Following the court's decision, attorney Nati Rom of the Honenu organization met with the two detainees late Monday night at a Shin Bet facility. The organization claims the men have been cooperating with investigators since their arrest and have provided details supporting their account. The specifics of the investigation remain under a gag order. Despite the court's ruling allowing the meeting, Honenu asserts that the detainees are being held in harsh conditions, in small, crowded cells without sunlight and with their eyes covered. Attorney Rom stated, "It is heartbreaking to see heroes, our best young men who have contributed so much and risked their lives for the people and the state, arrested in this manner. They are using against them a tool that should be reserved for the most severe cases. A great outcry should be raised." He added, "These people do not deserve this treatment. They are held in a dungeon in difficult conditions, not knowing day or night, in a cell two meters by two meters. I call on the Head of the Shin Bet, Zini, to stop this immediately!"
