HCJ 7834/04 - Abdallah et al. v. Commander of the Army Forces in the West Bank Petition for Order Nisi
One of numerous petitions filed at the time against the systematic failure of the office of the legal advisor of the respondent to respond to requests from HaMoked in regard to residents of the Occupied Territories whom the respondent refuses to let visit their loved ones detained in prisons in the West Bank and in Israel. The refusal violates the obligation of an administrative authority to respond to requests made to it within a reasonable time. A family visit is a fundamental right of the detainee and his family. Preventing exercise of the right also breaches the right to family life.
