הוועד הציבורי נגד עינויים בישראל

We are honored to invite the public to the "Secret Agent and Attorney General Ball" that PCATI will hold to mark the International Day of Human Rights, and as part of our comprehensive campaign against impunity and the lack of investigations into complaints of torture.

The event will be held in Tel Aviv and focus on the General Security Service (GSS) and the role of the Attorney General in relation to the manner in which the Attorney General grants absolute immunity to GSS officers who employed torture. Over 600 complaints on the use of torture have been submitted since 2001 (primarily by PCATI and the International Red Cross) yet not a single criminal investigation against a GSS agent has been initiated or carried out. The Attorney General's office has consistently replied to these complaints using set phrases such as "these things have never happened" or "this was necessary" or "much time has passed since then".

The event will be held at the Levontin 7 Club in Tel Aviv (also the club's address) on  December 10, at 8:00-10:00 PM.

Participants include: "Daphna and the Oogiot", Dani Amir, members of the "Black Velvet" musical group (Dina Lurie and Ehud Nathan), Gabi Eldor, Ofer Golany and Ahotha, Amira Hass, Miki Kratsman, Motti Lerner, Gideon Levy, Ishai Menuchin, Nati Ornan, Zeev Tene, Smadar Yaaron, and others.

A 30 NIS entrance fee will be charged to cover the cost of the event.
