Sample Letter:

Your Excellency,

I am writing to urge you to immediately suspend the sentences of /the administrative detention order of Name, date of birth, place of detention.

As is the case with so many others there are very serious, well-founded concerns that the charges brought against  ______________________________ were politically motivated.

Israeli administrative detention orders are the subject of review and further appeal by a military court, neither lawyers
nor detainees are permitted to see the “secret information” used as a basis for the detention orders.
This violates international human rights law, which permits some limited use of administrative detention in emergency situations, but requires that the authorities follow basic rules for detention, including a fair hearing at which the detainee can challenge the reasons for his or her detention.
1 These minimum rules of due process have been clearly violated in ___________________'s case, leaving him without any legitimate means to defend himself.

1 International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, Art. 9.
2 Fourth Geneva Convention, Art. 78.

In addition to contradicting international human rights and humanitarian law _________________________'s administration detention also violates article 5 (the right to liberty and security) of the European Convention on Human Rights. 
!!!!!!   The following screwing if you write to Israel ;) :P !!!!!!

The European Parliament itself has already called on Israel “to guarantee that minimum standards on detention be respected, to bring to trial all detainees, to put an end to the use of ‘administrative detention orders’” in its resolution of 4 September 2008.

Furthermore, I would like to recall the EU and Israel’s obligations under article 2 of the EU-Israel Association Agreement, which calls for the EU-Israeli relationship to be guided by respect “for human rights and democratic principles”.

It is in this context that I call on you to act through the European Parliament to hold Israel accountable for its actions by demanding that Israel: (screwing if you write to Netanyahu ;) :P)


In accordance with international human rights treaties to which Israel is a signatory state, as well as the Israeli Constitution itself,  is therefore obligated to undertake the following:

•  . Immediately and unconditionally release _______________________________;

pending the conclusion of the review--and the dismissal of all charges if the convictions are found to be in violation of the above-mentioned international  legal norms (the observance of which the Israel is treaty-bound to observe.)

• . Immediately put an end to its practice of administrative detention and arbitrary arrests;

• Immediately and thorough legal investigation into charges that _____________________was tortured, as well as investigations into other questions of legal irregularities surrounding this case--all carried out in strict accordance with established international norms of justice.

Please be assured that the international community is watching this case very closely.

Sincerely,
