Someone who knows more please correct me if I am wrong. I thought that Palestinians arrested under the apartheid legal system of the Israeli military occupation authority had no recourse to lawyers, i.e. they could have as many as they want but they couldn't actually <i>do</i> anything to formally intervene in the closed secret proceedings under which Palestinians in the occupied territories stand 'trial'.

Abdallah Abu Rahmah deserves the best and most creative lawyers. And writers like Phil, Adam and friends to get the story into the news.
