Indor Claims Police Mistreatment
(IsraelNN.com) Meir Indor, head of the Almagor organization for victims of terrorism, said Thursday that police mistreated him earlier in the week after arresting him in a protest in the Jabel Mukaber neighborhood of Jerusalem. Indor asked Public Security Minister Avi Dichter to look into the treatment he received in a Jerusalem prison.
Indor said he was left handcuffed for one and a half hours in his cell, despite the fact that he was clearly unable to escape. He was strip-searched, allegedly in a search for illegal drugs, he said. In addition, he said, he was put in a cell with prisoners who smoked despite the fact that he informed officers that he suffers from asthma.
Even after he suffered an asthma attack, he said, police wanted to return him to the same cell. After several pleas and reminders of his condition, they put him on a mattress in the dining hall instead, without providing him with sheets. There was clearly no reason to believe that he would attempt to escape or to smuggle drugs, he wrote to Dichter, making it clear that the police mistreatment was a deliberate attempt to humiliate him.
