Israeli police to stand trial for being pissed on handcuffed Palestinian. It is reported The Independent on Thursday, 2 March.
This incident occurred in 2007. Two police officers accused of physical and sexual abuse of detainees. However, the internal security Service of the Ministry of justice of Israel did not find sufficient grounds for initiating proceedings against a patrol. However, lawyers managed to reopen the investigation in relation to one of the guards.
During the proceedings, the suspect denied urinating. However, after the defense has presented the results of the DNA examination, he acknowledged that it happened. Thus, according to him, it was an accident — allegedly at the time when he celebrated small need, handcuffed Palestinian man pushed him, and drops of urine hit the victim’s clothing.
The officer also claimed that initially gave false evidence because of feelings of shame and embarrassment.
In the end, the members of the Supreme court of Israel issued a ruling according to which the police deliberately urinated on Palestinians in order to humiliate him. Case against guards of the order will be investigated again.
