Israel extends the detention of Hamas detainees without seeing a lawyer for 90 days
The Israeli government's judicial advisor, Gali Beharav Meara, approved today, Tuesday, that the government establish new emergency regulations, allowing the extension of the detention of Hamas detainees who prevented them from meeting with a lawyer for a period of 90 days, instead of 60 days, with the approval of a judge in a central court.
Bhairav Mayara considered that the prolongation of the detention extension stems from the fact that the investigation with Hamas detainees is complicated in the wake of the widespread and sudden attack on the seventh of this month, and that it entails “special and unusual” features.
He added that the detained Hamas detainees who are being investigated have a lot of information in their possession, and that "there is a real fear that the investigation will be distorted if they meet with lawyers now."
