The Israeli High Court and Abir Aramin

On Wednesday, Oct. 14th, the Israeli High Court of Justice heard arguments in an appeal to reopen the investigation in the killing of Abir Aramin. The court did not make a final ruling but instead, as stated in the Jerusalem Post, “The court gave the state 14 days to present it with materials from the investigation and documentation of official police communications from that day.” The court will receive the materials this Wednesday, Oct. 28th. Upon their review, the court will either acknowledge that Yesh Din Attorney Michael Sfard’s arguments are correct and order the state to indict the Border Policemen, order a re-opening of the investigation, or dismiss the petition depite 14 eye-witnesses and independent autopsy.
