Sde Teiman Case: Prosecution Demands Confidentiality Agreement

To the astonishment of the defense attorneys, the military prosecution has demanded that the lawyers representing the detained soldiers in the Tanya Field case sign a confidentiality agreement in order to receive the investigation materials in the case.

Attorneys from the "Honenu" organization stated: "We will not sign the document and demand that the materials be transferred to us without delay."

The defense attorneys for the soldiers detained in the Tanya Field case approached the military prosecution to obtain the investigation materials, following the extension of the house arrest for the five soldiers. To their surprise, the military prosecution sent them a document requiring signatures before receiving the investigation materials, in which they are required to maintain confidentiality and not leak any investigation materials. The document sent to the attorneys included the following statement: "I hereby commit to maintain the confidentiality of all materials transferred in this case and not to disclose any of them, in whole or in part, to anyone other than the attorneys on the defense team."

Attorneys Adi Kedar and Nati Rom, representing some of the soldiers on behalf of the Honenu organization, commented: "Time and again, the military prosecution reaches a new peak. Investigation materials are leaked to the media, yet when they are supposed to reach the defense team, the prosecution demands that they sign a stringent document regarding the handling and transfer of the documents, which is unacceptable and contradicts all norms.

Given the sequence of scandalous conduct, starting from the arrest of the soldiers and continuing with the prosecution's handling of the terrorist, and the insistence on the arrest and house arrest which severely impacts their mental and financial condition, one would expect that they would not obstruct the basic and sacred principles of the orderly judicial process. We have notified them that we will not sign such a document and demand that the materials be transferred to us without delay."
