The Almagor Terror Victims organization submitted a petition to the High Court of Justice against Menachem Mazuz and the government of Israel demanding that it overturn the decision to release 20 female Palestinian prisoners in exchange for a sign of life from captured Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit.
According to the petitioners, "The wholesale release of terrorists in exchange for a sign of life is tainted with an extreme lack of reasonability." (Aviad Glickman)
