Restrictions on the Return of a Terror Offender to the Vicinity of a Victim of an Offense Bill

Translated from Hebrew: הצעת חוק מגבלות על חזרתו של עבריין טרור לסביבת נפגע עבירה

TL;DRA bill to require a court to consider imposing movement restrictions on a person convicted of a terror offense, in order to prevent encounters with the victims of the offense.

Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The bill provides that a court that has sentenced an adult convicted of a terror offense to imprisonment must consider imposing a restriction order on their residence, place of work or study. The court may impose an order if there is concern that frequent encounters with the victim of the offense may cause psychological harm. The order can restrict the convicted person's movement near the victim's place of residence, work, study, or an educational institution where the victim studies. The court will set the period of the restrictions and the geographical area in which they will apply, while maintaining confidentiality as much as possible. Either party may apply to the court for reconsideration of the decision if new facts are discovered or circumstances have changed.
