HCJ 5268/08 – 'Anbar et al. v. GOC Central Command et al. Petition for Order Nisi

Petition by HaMoked and other human rights organizations regarding renewal of family visits for prisoners from the Gaza Strip imprisoned inside Israel. Israel has been preventing visits from the Gaza Strip for over a year, claiming there is no one with whom to coordinate travel; this, despite the fact that the ICRC has always coordinated the visits. The Petitioners, including five prisoners and their relatives, claim that preventing the visits is a violation of the rights of the prisoners and their families. The organizations urge the Court to instruct the immediate renewal of the visits in the accepted framework of ICRC shuttles.
