HCJ 6475/07 - Abu a-Laban et al. v. OC Southern Command et al. Petition for Order Nisi
Petition by HaMoked to allow a Palestinian doctor living in Gaza and studying for a Master's in obstetrics and gynecology in Egypt to exit Gaza. She was due to take an important exam for membership in the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists. HaMoked's letter to COGAT explaining the urgency of the matter remained unanswered. HaMoked argues that restricting the Petitioner's travel violates her right to education and freedom of movement and that the Respondents are acting unlawfully as the right of transit is a customary right recognized in international law.
