הוועד הציבורי נגד עינויים בישראל

PCATI: "Today Haaretz adopted PCATI's position on torture:  that it still is used by the Shin Bet/GSS and that it is never permissable" 

The Shin Bet cannot deny murder suspects basic human rights.
Haaretz Editorial

"The Shin Bet must mend its ways. Pearlman is not the only suspect in recent months who was arrested on the basis of serious allegations that quickly turned out to be false. He was preceded by several Israeli Arab detainees; in those cases, a raft of allegations produced little. Before the Shin Bet arrests people and makes false accusations, it should investigate carefully. It should remember that not everything is permitted in interrogations, and that torture - whether psychological or physical - is always unacceptable, no matter the case or the suspect. Even the war against terror must be conducted using legal means."
