Amnesty International criticises Israel......

.....for its detention of anti-disengagement activists.

Amnesty International criticized Israel for detaining suspected activists against the Gaza withdrawal without charge.

After a Jewish terrorist killed four Israeli Arabs earlier this month, the Shin Bet, Israel’s domestic security service, placed three of his suspected associates under administrative detention. One, who has U.S. as well as Israeli citizenship, was freed on condition that he leave the country for at least 40 days.

In a statement issued Tuesday, Amnesty International urged Israel to abandon the practice of administrative detention, which is usually exercised against suspected Palestinian terrorists. “Those detained administratively must either be charged with a recognizable criminal offense and given a fair trial within a reasonable time or else be released,” it said. “The organization believes that the practice of administrative detention in Israel and the Occupied Territories violates fundamental human rights, notably the right to a fair trial, which should be guaranteed at all times, even in an emergency.”

So much for that bias. Eh Charles?
