Court: Hamas prisoners can watch Euro final
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe High Court rejects a petition by the family of fallen IDF soldier Oron Shaul — whose body is being held in Gaza — to stop Hamas members jailed in Israel from watching tonight’s final of the Euro 2016 soccer championship.
“There is no legal impediment to security prisoners watching the European Championships final on Channel 2, which is a public channel, and the petitioners did not present us with any legal or factual basis to prevent a group of prisoners or anyone else watching the game,” the High Court says.
The Israel Prison Service gave a similar response to the petition earlier in the day.
