B’Tselem: Police Investigating Alleged Abuse Of Palestinian Minors During Interrogations
The police are investigating eight complaints of alleged abuse against Palestinian minors during interrogations at the police station in the West Bank region of Gush Etzion, the non-governmental group B’Tselem said.
Since November 2009, it said, it had documented 64 such cases in interrogations at that station, of which it sent 31 complaints to the Justice Ministry’s Police Investigation Department.
Similar reports are not made at other Judea and Samaria Police stations in the West Bank, said B’Tselem spokeswoman Sarit Michaeli.
“The high number of reports B’Tselem has received regarding violent interrogations at the Etzion station, and the fact that they span several years, gives rise to heavy suspicion that this is not a case of a single interrogator who chose to use illegal interrogation methods, but rather an entire apparatus that backs him up and allows such conduct to take place,” Michaeli said.
