The Tebeka Association is pleased to inform you that following the hearing held in the Supreme Court on May 1, 2024, regarding the issue of the procedure for presenting an identity card and the obligation to identify oneself to a police officer, the High Court of Justice issued a conditional order to the Israel Police on May 2, 2024, subsequent to our previous petition in the High Court (בג”ץ 4455/19). The court accepted our petition and instructed the police to change their offensive procedure. Representing Tebeka was attorney Eyal Abulfia, along with the Public Committee Against Torture and the Association for Civil Rights in Israel, and the Association of Ethiopian Jews.
This is a significant and fundamental achievement. We will keep you updated on further developments.
