231 5. All law enforcement bodies shall respect and implement the decisions of the regular courts related to the release of detainees. It was proven to ICHR that some Security Services, including the Preventive Security Service, the General Intelligence Service and the Military Intelligence Service, often refrain from implementing the decisions of the regular courts in those courts’ calls for the release of detainees or decisions regarding release on bail. The detention of detainees has continued in spite of the decisions of the regular courts to release them. 6. There shall be a halt to the arrest and detention of civilians by the Military Public Prosecution and the Military Judiciary Commission, primarily because it constitutes a clear and explicit appropriation of the powers of the civil judiciary, and deprives citizens of the right to appear before their natural judge, a right which is protected and confirmed by the national legislation and international human rights covenants. ICHR considers that the Military Public Prosecution and the Military Judiciary Commission, having granted themselves the authority to arrest and detain civilians, has resulted in exercising the duties of the judicial police against civilians by the Military Security Services. This has led to an erosion of rights and freedoms guaranteed by the Palestinian Basic Law and the Palestinian Criminal Procedure Code. 7.

This is due to the fact that it constitutes a clear attack on the rights and freedoms of individuals, especially because the Palestinian civilian judiciary, and through its highest judicial references, namely the Supreme Court of Justice, confirmed under dozens of court rulings the inadmissibility and illegitimacy of prosecuting and arresting Palestinian civilians by the Military Public Prosecution and the Military Justice. 8. Release of all detainees held by the PNA and the De Facto Authority in the Gaza Strip, including those who have not been brought before the competent normal judiciary. 9.
