Subject: Nobel Laureate Robert Auman Calls Upon Israel Supreme Court to Reconsider Ben Uliel Confession Under Torture
To:
Last week, Nobel laureate Robert Auman called upon Esther Hayut, president of Israel's Supreme Court, to reconsider Amiram Ben Uliel's confession that he set a fire in the Arab town of Duma since his confession was given under torture. Auman said that Israel was in danger of becoming a police state.
