REQUEST TO TRANSFER AMIRAM BEN ULIEL from SOLITARY CONFINEMENT to the PRISON's TORAH WING
Amiram Ben Uliel has been in solitary confinement since his imprisonment seven and a half years ago. He is being held in the harshest conditions of any prisoner in Israel. This, in spite of the fact that the only evidence against him was elicited under extreme torture, with absolutely no forensic evidence ever found to link him to the crime. In contrast, Arab terrorists with blood on their hands, such as Ahmad Awad who murdered five members of the Fogel family, are being held in open cells, free to interact with fellow prisoners and enjoying many perks.
This past Passover, Amiram's request to be celebrate the holiday in the religious wing of the prison was granted. This was the first time in seven years he was permitted to leave his solitary cell and interact with fellow Jews.
But this good fortune was short-lived. On Shavuot, the Shin Bet rejected his request to spend the holiday in the Torah wing. Once again, he was forced to celebrate the holiday alone, in solitary darkness.
We, the undersigned, request that Mr. Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel, demand that the head of the Shin Bet transfer Amiram from solitary confinement and cease the inhumane treatment to which he is being subjected. This is not the Soviet Union or Iran!!
Furthermore, we demand that Amiram ben Uliel be permitted to meet with his wife and daughter without intervening bars or a glass partition; that he be permitted to pray in a minyan; and that he be granted the most basic human rights which are the hallmark of a democracy.
It is outrageous to see terrorists with blood on their hands celebrating in Israel's prison facilities and receiving preferential treatment, while Amiram is being held in a state of continuous emotional torture, with no evidence linking him to the crime he is accused of except a forced confession.
Why are the non-Jewish prisoners permitted to fulfill their religious obligations while this Jewish prisoner, whose guilt is highly questionable, denied his most basic religious and human rights?
We demand an end to this discrimination and inhumane cruelty.
Transfer Amiram immediately to the Torah wing!!!!

Jewish Law and Secular Law often see eye to eye and in secular law and in Jewish Law and in most democratic civilized societies, self incrimination is not permissable as evidence.
There are political undertones in this terrible miscarriage of Justice.
This Mitzvah of Pidyon Shvuyim, especially when there is a blood libel of Jews against our own cries out to the heavens. Inaction was a cause of the destruction of the Temple.
This is reminiscent of Sinat Chinom between Yosef and his brothers. It is a reincarnation of Sinat Chinom in our day against our very own righteous Jewish brothers and sisters living in the heart of the Shomron in the Nachala of Yosef and Binyamin. We must fear the consequences of our inaction if Amiram continues to languish, abandoned in jail in Solitary confinement and discriminatory administrative detention of hilltop youth is modus operandi of Defense Minister Gallant.
"אַשְׁרֵי אָדָם מְפַחֵד תָּמִיד וּמַקְשֶׁה לִבּוֹ יִפּוֹל בְּרָעָה" ( משלי כ"ח, פסוק י"ד)
אמר רבי יוחנן: ענוותנותו של רבי זכריה בן אבקולס החריבה את ביתנו ושרפה את היכלנו והגליתנו מארצנו."
We are pleading with the Rabbonim to join in these efforts, to do independent research, to act with personal Hishtadlus and raise awareness and demand Truth and Justice. This surely will have a tremendous impact up in the Heavens and arouse Rachmei Shamayim.
This miscarriage of Justice against Amiram in particular reflects poorly on the Israeli Supreme Court who gave a green light to sanction torture to extort confession. It is no surprise that the recent push for Judicial Reform has at its very core a deep yearning by Am Yisroel for Truth, Justice and Righteousness in the Israeli Court System.
The "Justice for Amiram" network of activists are also applying pressure in America... not only on the Israeli front.
Letters are being sent globally via the website of the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission headed by Rep. Congressman Chris Smith, a friend of Israel, protesting the gross violations of human rights against Amiram ben Uliel who was placed unlawfully under Administrative Detention and denied basic rights to a lawyer held without charges or evidence of wrongdoing and then tortured until he confessed to a crime he never committed.

Apparently there are precedents to request aid from non-Jews when Jewish Leaders of the State of Israel were acting improperly. Steve Rodan, presenter of the Zoom said that in 1959, 1960 when the GOI wasn't funding Chinuch Atzmai for a decade, Rav Aharon Kotler approached Congress, specifically a Senator from Wisconsin who was involved in Foreign affairs. When the Finance Minister of Israel at the time, Levi Eshkol came to visit Washington DC, this Senator of Nevada questioned him about it. Apparently Levi Eshkol telegrammed the Prime Minister Ben Gurion and this made a impression and Chinuch Atzmai started to get funded.
