Shin Bet captivates Spanish humanitarian aid worker

The new case involves a Spaniard, Juana Ruiz, working for the Spanish NGO, Health Work Committees, in the occupied West Bank.  She was arrested in Bethlehem and has been held incommunicado for two weeks under relentless, abusive interrogation lasting six hours per day, reported by Eurasia Review.

She has neither been indicted nor charged with a crime.  But the Shin Bet has conveniently leaked to the media that she has engaged in aiding a terror organization through money laundering.  This is a charge used routinely in similar past cases in which the security apparatus seeks to sabotage the work of aid groups on behalf of Palestinians.
 

Ruiz’s lawyer has not been able to consult with her privately as called for under the Geneva Convention.  She also has a medical condition which her jailers have refused to treat.

Of course, Shin Bet has presented no evidence against him in this case either. But such is the shabby standard of justice in the Israeli system.
