HaMoked is petitioning the High Court of Justice (HCJ) to permit a Palestinian resident of the West Bank to visit his brother in prison without being forced each time to prove his family relationship: Despite the fact that the petitioner’s applications have been approved in the past, the information is not detailed on the computer system, and each time the military refuses to allow the brothers to meet, claiming that they are not related

Absolute Prohibition: The Torture and Ill-Treatment of Palestinian Detainees – HaMoked and B’Tselem publish a new report: The report is based on the testimonies of dozens of Palestinians who were detained and interrogated by the Israeli Security Agency (ISA). The report details the methods used by the interrogators, including beating, denial of basic needs, protracted shackling, humiliation and intimidation

The military has recently set up a temporary detention camp for Palestinians arrested during military activity in the Gaza Strip. It is located on the border of the Gaza Strip: Information to that effect has recently reached HaMoked – Center for the Defence of the Individual.

Five Lebanese men who were abducted by Israel are released: On 21 August 2006, HaMoked petitioned the High Court to order the Defense Minister and the General Security Service to explain the legal basis upon which they abducted the five men and why they continue to hold them. The petition also raised the fear that the five were abducted and held solely on the "suspicion" that they were related to the Hizbullah leader. Their affidavits also raise the concern that they were held in Facility 1391.

At least two Lebanese detainees are currently being held in the secret facility: HaMoked contacted the state and demanded that attorneys on its behalf be permitted to visit the detainees immediately. HaMoked’s request was rejected by the state. At the same time, HaMoked requested that an urgent hearing be scheduled in the petition concerning Facility 1391; this petition still awaits a ruling by the HCJ

HaMoked petitions the HCJ against the cessation of family visits of residents of the Occupied Territories to their loved ones, held in prison facilities across Israel: All visits were terminated immediately after the capture of the soldier Gilad Shalit.

The military prevents Palestinians who live in the West Bank from visiting their relatives who are imprisoned in Israel, solely because their official address is in Gaza: HaMoked petitioned the HCJ after the respondent violated its commitment to allow these residents to participate in such visits
18.01.2006
HaMoked lodged a supplementary notice for the upcoming HCJ hearing of its petition to shut down the secret prison, Facility 1391: in the past the state admitted the secret prison exists and that it concealed it from the public, but claimed this to be legal. In its arguments, HaMoked stresses that Israel's demand to continue operating the secret prison blatantly contrasts the outright disavowal other states expressed in response to recent reports of secret prisons inside their territories and the calls to investigate any suspicion that such secret prisons exist. Israel thus puts itself on the f

Due to HaMoked's petition, the State announced that visits of families from the Territories to prisons in Israel will renew 72 hours after the closure is imposed, even if it is still in force:  HaMoked petitioned the High Court of Justice against the policy of the military to automatically cancel family visitations during closure periods
