(sub title) Palestinian Judges and Lawyers Shut Down Legal System to Protest Recent Attacks
"GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip Aug 6, 2005 — Palestinian judges and lawyers shut down the Palestinian legal system Saturday until further notice to protest recent attacks against senior legal officials.
The shutdown was announced in a statement signed by judges and lawyers.
Earlier in the week in Gaza City, an explosive device was detonated outside the home of former Palestinian Justice Minister Zuhair Sourani, while a separate blast damaged a wall outside the home of the Palestinian Authority's attorney general in the city, Hussein Abu Assi.
Both men were appointed by parliament to investigate widespread corruption in the Palestinian Authority."
