Quick Summary#

Amiram Ben Uliel, the man convicted of carrying out the deadly 2015 Duma firebombing, is reportedly receiving conjugal visits while serving his sentence. The attack, which occurred in the occupied West Bank, resulted in the deaths of an 18-month-old infant and his parents.

Now serving his tenth year in prison, Ben Uliel is currently under sentence of three life sentences. The revelation of his access to these visits has reignited discussions about the treatment of prisoners convicted of politically motivated violence.

The Duma Attack#

The tragedy unfolded in July 2015, when assailants targeted the home of the Dawabsha family in the village of Duma. The attackers firebombed the residence in the middle of the night, resulting in a catastrophic fire that consumed the home.

The attack claimed the lives of Ali Dawabsha, an 18-month-old infant, along with both of his parents. The couple's four-year-old son, Ahmad, was the sole survivor of the immediate family, though he suffered severe burns over much of his body and required extensive medical treatment for years following the incident.

Ben Uliel was arrested in connection with the attack and eventually convicted. The brutality of the crime, which targeted a sleeping family, marked it as one of the most severe incidents of settler violence in recent years.

Prison Status#

Following his conviction, Amiram Ben Uliel began serving a sentence that includes three consecutive life terms. He has now been in custody for a period of ten years regarding the arson attack.

Reports indicate that despite the severity of his crimes, Ben Uliel has been granted the privilege of conjugal visits. These visits allow prisoners to spend private, unsupervised time with their spouses within designated prison facilities.

The availability of such privileges is often governed by strict regulations, particularly for those convicted of national security offenses. The specific circumstances surrounding the approval of these visits for Ben Uliel highlight the complex administrative frameworks governing prison life.

Legal & Social Impact#

The news of Ben Uliel's prison privileges comes after a decade of legal proceedings and public scrutiny. The Duma attack was widely condemned by Israeli leadership and international bodies as an act of terror.

For the surviving members of the Dawabsha family and the broader Palestinian community, the revelation adds a layer of distress to an already painful history. The contrast between the loss of life suffered by the victims and the privileges afforded to the perpetrator is likely to remain a point of significant friction.

Key aspects of the case include:

  • Conviction for murder and arson as a terror crime
  • Serving three consecutive life sentences
  • Incident occurred in July 2015 in the West Bank
  • One child survived the attack with critical injuries

Current Status#

As of the latest reports, Amiram Ben Uliel remains incarcerated, having passed the ten-year mark of his imprisonment. The specific frequency and conditions of his conjugal visits have not been detailed, but their existence confirms his continued eligibility for such benefits.

The case continues to serve as a focal point for discussions regarding justice, retribution, and the penal system's handling of individuals convicted of violent acts stemming from the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Key Takeaways#

The situation surrounding Amiram Ben Uliel underscores the enduring legacy of the 2015 Duma attack. While the legal chapter regarding his conviction has long been closed, the administrative aspects of his imprisonment continue to generate attention.

Ultimately, the report serves as a reminder of the ongoing tensions in the region and the differing perspectives on justice and punishment. As Ben Uliel continues to serve his sentence, the memory of the Dawabsha family remains central to the narrative of the conflict.

Каспийские баррели сбили с курса // Перевозка нефти через КТК может подорожать после атак на танкеры

Отгрузки нефти из Казахстана через Каспийский трубопроводный консорциум, которые и так ограничены последние полтора месяца, осложнились после атак на танкеры, законтрактованные участниками Каспийского трубопроводного консорциума, в том числе американской Chevron. Пока сход с маршрута поврежденных судов не должен существенно сказаться на объемах отгрузок. Но инцидент повлечет удорожание перевозки каспийской нефти из-за увеличения ставок фрахта и стоимости страхования.
