Injured minor detained in bed, taken for interrogation https://honenu.org/injured-minor-detained-in-bed-taken-for-interrogation/ |  Injured minor; Photo courtesy of the family | Sunday, November 29, 2020, 11:39 Early Sunday morning, at approximately 5:00, a minor recovering from a traffic accident in which he was injured the previous week was detained in his bed at home in Yitzhar. He required a complicated operation on his arm, which was set in a cast. The policemen ignored the pleas of his parents, who asked them not to detain him due to his medical condition, which includes intense pain, and woke up the entire household. The minor was taken to the police station, interrogated on suspicion of involvement with an incident that occurred several weeks ago, and released after the interrogation.
At the police station the minor complained about his severe pain, but received no response from the policemen. Honenu Attorney Adi Kedar is assisting the minor: "A detention warrant for a minor is a last resort, to be used after all attempts to summon him in an organized manner have been tried, which was not done in this case. The Israeli Police rushed to issue a detention warrant and carried it out at a very early hour of the day, with no consideration for the minor's sensitive medical condition. It appears that someone is looking for showcase detentions and intimidation, not measured law enforcement according to good judgment. I say, regretfully, that a family in Tel Aviv would have received different treatment. I call on Amir Ohana, the Public Security Minister, to carefully examine what is happening in the Yehuda and Shomron District."
The minor's father: "The Israeli Police came to our house in the middle of the night, woke up the entire family, caused a disturbance, and frightened the small children. We explained to them [the policemen] that the boy is recovering from an operation, he has a cast and is under medical care, but they paid no attention. The policemen didn't listen. They showed total disregard. After several hours he was released. They couldn't have summoned us in a normal way? For what was all the commotion? The educational damage to our children, the neighbors' children and all the children in the community is irrevocable. For no reason they are causing a generation of children to not trust the police, not trust the State, and it's all because of a lack of consideration by the policemen. What a shame." | Yitzhar detainees released https://honenu.org/yitzhar-detainees-released/ |  Honenu Attorney Nati Rom; Photo credit: Honenu | Wednesday, November 25, 2020, 15:00 A routine check at an army barrier in place due to the closed military zone order which has been imposed on the residents of the Kumi Ori neighborhood in Yitzhar since October 2019 resulted in several detentions.
On Wednesday, November 25, the Petah Tikva Magistrates Court rejected the police request to extend the remand of the detainees from Yitzhar and ordered their release. A Yitzhar resident, who was detained on suspicion of disturbing a policeman in the line of duty, was released on bail without restrictions.
An additional detainee, a Kumi Ori resident, who was injured in the face as a result of police brutality during his detention, was released to several days of house arrest at his home. The court has permitted him to leave his house for prayers at times set by the court. The resident was interrogated on suspicion of assaulting a policeman and endangering human life in a traffic lane.
After the deliberation, Honenu Attorney Nati Rom, who is representing the detainees, said: "Despite the overblown announcements by the Israeli Police that there had been an attempted ramming attack - and there were other attempts to demonize the residents of the site - there had not been an attempted ramming attack, and the court accepted our claims. It is unfortunate that one of the detainees returned with bruises all over his body. We hope that the extensive use of accusations of assaulting or disturbing a policeman in the line of duty in situations such as this will stop." | Help Honenu stop police brutality; PARTNER with us. | | | |
