More "Justice"

Asael is a small outpost near Susia. Of its four families, three of the men are now in prison.

The three are accused of attacking an Arab who burnt their fields. The Supreme Court thus accepted an appeal by the Prosecution, overturning an original decision to keep the three under house arrest outside Judea and Samaria.

The Supreme Court ordered the three back to prison until further notice, and also ordered the Prison Testing Service to submit arrest reports within ten days.

The court noted in its ruling that the three are "dangerous, even if we accept their claim that the series of events began with a provocation by the Palestinian residents." The Arab who was allegedly beaten attacked Asael a total of three times. Asael residents filed charges with the police two months ago against him regarding arson, but no action was taken.
