| Subject: Rights group seeks to reopen files involving illegal Israhell poLICE conduct in East Jerusalem Sun Aug 12, 2012 11:00 pm | |
| Case involves the detaining of a 7-year-old boy and questioning him without his parents, against the law.
But that didn't stop five masked policemen from bursting into the Abdal-Razak home in East Jerusalem in the middle of the night, looking for 7-year-old L., who was suspected of throwing stones.
This is one of four cases against police actions in East Jerusalem that the Association for Civil Rights in Israel is appealing after the original files were closed due to lack of blame, lack of evidence or lack of public interest.
During the May 2011 incident at their home, members of the Abdal-Razak family tried to prevent the boy's arrest. The child's aunt was shot in the leg by police wielding crowd-dispersal equipment, while L.'s father was hit with a rifle butt and his face was sprayed with pepper spray. L. himself suffered a hand injury.
After the confrontation, the boy was taken alone to the police jeep, where he stayed for two hours while the policemen cruised around East Jerusalem. His mother, who tried to run after the vehicle, was not allowed to approach. Only after L. was brought to the lockup at the Russian Compound was she reunited with him.
