Law to Amend and Extend the Emergency Regulations (Swords of Iron) (Meeting with a Lawyer for a Security Offense Detainee) (Amendment No. 2), 5784-2024

Full AI summary

Emergency regulations that allow security detainees to be barred from meeting their lawyers were extended by another month, until July 18, 2024. The regulations apply to detainees linked to the hostilities between October 7 and October 10, 2023, or to the war in Gaza. The extension is given because complex investigations of many terrorists must continue, and there is concern that leaked information could endanger lives, state security and the investigations. The existing arrangement in the Arrests Law allows a security-offense suspect to be barred from meeting a lawyer for up to 21 days. The emergency regulations, first enacted in October 2023, extended this to up to 180 days, and later to up to 90 days. The current amendment extends these regulations by another month.
