AP 8476/08 HaMoked: Center for the Defence of the Individual et al. v. Minister of Interior Petition Under the Freedom of Information Act
Petition filed by HaMoked in the framework of the Freedom of Information Act, to compel the Minister of Interior to divulge information regarding revocation of residency of permanent residents in East Jerusalem. HaMoked is seeking, inter alia, to receive data regarding the number of residency revocations in Jerusalem in 2006 and 2007 and the reasons therefor. HaMoked has also requested information on how the Ministry is made aware of an Israeli resident naturalizing in a different country, whether the Ministry notifies the relevant person of its intention to revoke his residency and whether it allows him to appeal the decision. HaMoked stresses that the public is entitled to this information and that the petition was filed after the Ministry had not responded to HaMoked's request for information for four months.
