HCJ 5188/96 - Al Kaka v. General Security Service et al. Petition for Order Nisi and Interim Order

HaMoked's petition on behalf of two detainees, to instruct the ISA to cease using torture during their interrogations. The petitioners are interrogated through the use of stress positions, overtightening of handcuffs, covering their head with a sack, sleep deprivation and other torture methods. HaMoked claims that according to the criminal code, it is absolutely prohibited to use force or violence against a person who is being interrogated; even the "necessity clause" is not met in such cases. HaMoked asks the Court to rule that the use of force during interrogations is illegal and contrary to the state's values, even if used systematically against people suspected of attempting to harm it.

[GSS, later known as ISA]
