It also reported (68) violations of the Security Services conducting inspections without a warrant issued by the Public Prosecution.99 1‐ Guarantees Regarding Interrogation and Legal Accusations The Palestinian legislature has developed interrogation and indictment procedures with a number of safeguards to ensure the defendants of their rights throughout the process. These guarantees are originally derived from the Palestinian Basic Law100, which stipulates that interrogation should not be undertaken unless all freedoms of the defendant were guaranteed during the process and enabled a discussion and refutation of the evidence. Interrogation is both a primary procedure of investigation as well as a means for defense. ICHR recorded (26) violations in the Gaza Strip on the non‐indictment of detainees, and about (36) violations stating that detainees were not brought before the Public Prosecutor or the judiciary. On 21/09/2010, ICHR received a complaint from Kamel Massad Abu Samhadana, 35, from Deir al‐Balah, calling for the police to investigate his detention since 05/07/2010 without charge, or without being brought before any competent judicial authority.

Article (12) of the Amended Basic Law of the year 2003 stipulates that each person arrested or suspended shall be informed of the reasons for their arrest and must be promptly informed in a language they understand of the charges pressed against them, allowed access to a lawyer, and brought to trial without delay.
