Thursday, September 19, 2025, 16:56 Three weeks ago, a demonstration protesting the GSS persecution of Yehuda and Shomron residents was held opposite a GSS facility. The GSS detained numerous Yehuda and Shomron residents who were present, five of whom were released on Monday. A short time ago, the Petah Tikva Magistrates Court released the last resident detained at the demonstration. In total, approximately 20 Yehuda and Shomron residents were detained over the past month, all of whom were released to their homes with the assistance of Honenu. On Sunday, journalist Avishai Grinzaig revealed that a meeting took place at the end of last week between the police and the GSS regarding the detainees. Grinzaig also revealed that at the meeting, the security forces stated that they had no evidence incriminating the detainees.
Honenu Attorney Moshe Poleski, who is representing the resident released today, stated, “A request to delay carrying out the decision was rejected due to the fact that just yesterday, the district court ruled that there had been no progress in the investigation, and therefore the detainee must be released. If the GSS were not personally involved with the interrogation of the detainee, he would have been released to his home two weeks ago.
“A youth was held in remand, in prison, in solitary. He was not even interrogated. He was left waiting in his cell for the completion of the investigation. We hope that his ordeal is over. G-d willing, my client will celebrate Rosh HaShana with his family.”
