A petition submitted to the High Court of Justice on Sunday calls for the arrests of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Shin Bet head Yuval Diskin over their failure to stop the alleged torture of Palestinian detainees. The appeal, made by Israeli civil rights organizations, accuses the Shin Bet of defying a 1999 High Court ruling by torturing detainees as part of their interrogations. The petitioners demand that the two officials be incarcerated and fined in order to ensure that the court ruling is obeyed. 11/02/08
