Mordechai Tzivin, Attorney at law

A dramatic appeal in Israel’s Supreme Court is scheduled for the seventh of March. Amiram Ben Uliel was convicted in the Duma fire bombing solely based on a confession obtained through torture methods.
Some facts about this dramatic case:
Amiram has been held for the last six years in extreme conditions that include an almost complete cutoff from the outside world. The worst terrorists that have been convicted of the most heinous crimes have not been kept in such extreme solitary confinement. Not even the infamous convicted Nazi war criminal, John Demjanjuk, who was tried in Israel was held under such conditions.
We have enough evidence to suggest a distinct possibility that the ISS (Shabak) is attempting to hide what really happened during the illegal interrogation torture sessions.
Some details about the case itself:
Amiram, according to the conviction affidavit, was said to have walked a considerable distance alone to torch the houses and then to write two separate graffiti signs. The graffiti signs were each written differently. One person could not have written both signs. This is all according to the reenactment that Amiram was ”spoon fed” by the man who perpetrated the torture to begin with. His code name in the ISS is “Migael”.
Based only on this bizarre “reenactment,” the court convicted Amiram! There was no physical evidence linking him to the crime.
Another rather interesting detail in this case is the name of the leading attorney Avigdor Feldman.
In addition to Mr. Feldman’s litigation abilities, he is very far removed politically from the views of “hilltop youths”. Nonetheless, he accepted the case and agreed to file the appeal because he is sure that there is no other evidence except for the illegal confession that ties Amiram to this crime. Despite his political stance, he insists that the court throw out all the illegal confessions obtained through torture. It goes without saying that despite the severity of the crime attorney Feldman is convinced of Amiram’s innocence.
Amiram is innocent!
Amiram had no real idea what happened at the crime scene and refused to confess for the first 17 days – until the intense torture began. It is important to note that Amiram was also refused his right to see a lawyer for 21 days, the absolute maximum that the courts can allow. This is why at day 17 the interrogators upped their methods, to ensure that by day 21 the case was essentially “solved”.
After another interrogation of a minor (also tortured and tried to commit suicide!) he gave five different versions of the events. The “best” version was read to Amiram. After the torture, Amiram “confessed” to the version the interrogators wanted.
The miscarriage and travesty of justice in this case is clear.
No evidence links Amiram to the crime scene. No eye-witnesses at the crime scenes claim to have seen him.
Eye-witnesses from the village of Duma do, however, claim that there were two preparators with a getaway car.
No car was found so investigators decided that Amiram alone “walked” to crime scene. Absent from a second offender, the story was changed to Amiram acting alone.
An additional point to ponder:
How realistic would it be for a young Jewish man to walk into an Arab village, torch a home and then come out of that village unscathed? In fact, how realistic is it for any Jewish person to enter an Arab village and leave unharmed?
We must not be silent over this outrage!

What is his name and mothers name
Crown Heights Wome for the Safety and Integrity of Israel asks everyone to sign the petition to overturn the egregiously wrong conviction and sentence that was imposed on Amiran ben Uliel. We are personally familiar with the case and state unequivocally that Amiran is 100% INNOCENT! Please take at least 15 minutes before Monday’s appeal to open the links about the Duma case and learn what really happened – a tragic firebombing and murder of the Dawabsheh family that was the result of Arab inter-clan fighting and had absolutely nothing to do with or involvement by Jews. Instead of hammering down on… Read more »
so important to familiarize yourself with what has gone on here. Its absolutely frightening to think that within a modern judicial and legal system an innocent person can be convicted.
