Supreme Court to hold a hearing concerning new barrier in Bil'in
July 21, 2008
Source : AATW Discussion List
As I reported a few days ago, attorney Michael Sfard, who represents the residents of Bil’in, asked the Court to conclude that the new route of the separation barrier constitutes a contempt of the Court ruling from September 2007. It should be emphasized that this request is exceptional, since the residents of Bil’in did not use yet their right to object to the new route and later on to file a Court petition against it.
On July 9th, the President of the Supreme Court, Dorit Beinish, ordered to hold a Court hearing concerning Sfard’s request as soon as possible. The hearing (HCJ 8414/05) is scheduled for July 27th, 2008, at 9:00 am, at Hall C of the Supreme Court in Jerusalem, in front of Judges Beinish, Rivlin and Prokachya. Our presence there is important.
