הוועד הציבורי נגד עינויים בישראל

On 25 February 2009, the Jerusalem District Court held a hearing on the Freedom of Information petition that was filed by PCATI and the Movement for Freedom of Information demanding to receive detailed information concerning the treatment of complaints filed by GSS interrogees. At the end of the hearing the judge, Noam Solberg, ordered the Ministry of Justice to give PCATI some of the requested information in addition to the information that we had already received following the submission of the petition. On the other hand, the judge, who heard the state's arguments that were given ex parte, decided not  to intervene in the State's refusal to reveal information concerning the number of complaints that were closed on the basis of the "necessity defense".
