Explain why your appeal should be successful
User Kas? raising on behalf of user crayans
This appeal should be successful because the appellant does not fall within the categories identified in the temporary Ban on Sight announcement. The announcement specified that the measures applied to members, suspected members, and alternative accounts of the IDF group.
Crayans is not a member of the IDF, is not a suspected member of the IDF, and is not an alternative account of an IDF member. The apparent basis for the Ban on Sight is possession of an IDF donor badge. However, donor status does not constitute membership, as individuals may donate to agencies without being employed by or actively participating in those organisations.
As such, there appears to be insufficient evidence that Crayans meets the criteria set out in the announcement or legislation for the application of a Ban on Sight.
Justification for the Action you're appealing
The Ban on Sight being appealed appears to have been applied on the basis that Crayans possesses an IDF donor badge. Possession of a donor badge alone does not establish that an individual is a member, suspected member, or alternative account of the IDF.
The Defense Act and subsequent amendments require evidence to support the application of such measures. In this instance, the appellant seeks clarification as to what evidence exists beyond possession of a donor badge that would justify their inclusion under the temporary Ban on Sight measures. In the absence of such evidence, it is respectfully submitted that the Ban on Sight has been applied incorrectly and should be revoked.
