? IDF may reinstitute Arabic translations in West Bank military courts
From Haaretz, just a reminder of the banality of evil and life under occupation:
The IDF is willing to resume its one-time habit of translating into Arabic the indictments it submits to military courts in the West Bank, but insists there is no need or duty to translate other documents, such as verdicts or court transcripts.
The IDF’s position was included in the state’s response to a petition submitted to the High Court of Justice by four Palestinian attorneys, who claimed that the fact that all documents in military courts are exclusively in Hebrew damages defendants’ rights to due process.
