THREAT Jihad Yusuf Ismail An-Najjar
 |
Jihad Yusuf Ismail An-Najjar, born in 1981 Hebron / West Bank was arrested at a barrier at the entrance of the town in 2001. He was transferred immediately to the center of “Atsion”in the south of Bethlehem, and then transferred directly to the center of investigation in “Maskobiah”/ Jerusalem and was there subjected over 1,5 months to military interrogation and solitary confinement. Jihad was severely tortured in order to force him to sign a confession prepared in advance, but he refused and denied all charges against him and remained steadfast. After all he was transferred to Nafha Prison and more than 150 military court hearings were held by the occupation without judgement or to prove charges against him. The public prosecutor said: “We do not have any other evidence than the security risk for the public community”. On 24/3/2005, another military trial was held for Jihad three judges acquitted him of the sixteen charges brought against him, including participating in activities which belong to the Hamas Movement and murder of one Israeli soldier. The military prosecution rejected the court's decision and appealed the decision of acquittal, asked to extend the detention period for extra 24 hours. The deadline expired without providing new evidences. Another hearing was held in 2006 where Jihad was again announced as innocent. His brother, Adnan, said that this decision was against the internal security system and the prosecution appealed for the second time to extend the detention of Jihad for a period of 72 hours to submit new information. Life sentence Military trials continued against Jihad until the date of 04/12/2007, when he was brought to the courtroom in Ofer military court. Three new judges issued their decision which acquitted Jihad of all charges against him except for the attempt to kill a soldier. As result Jihad got one sentence on lifetime after the two judgements of acquittal. Adnan said that his brothers lawyer objected to the courts decision and appealed against the life imprisonment. After more than two years, a hearing was held for the appeals court again in 2011. Only one judge leaded the hearing to read in a few minutes the decision to reject the objection of the lawyer and confirming the sentence on lifetime. His brother continued saying plaintively: “We do not want to stop here, we decided to go to the Supreme Court , we have not finished the era of military courts” “We will do everything we can do for the release of my brother through all courts and the judiciary” Adnan added. Jihad has joined his hunger striking brothers in their battle of Empty Stomachs. The occupation perceives Jihad as one of those who are leading and urging for the hunger strike; and as a result, the prison administration transferred him more than once. At the end of April last year the management of Asqelon Prison transferred Jihad to section 4 of Nafha; and in March 2012 he was transferred to Eichel. |

THREAT Mahmoud S., 17 years old
 |
| Name: Mahmoud S. Date of arrest: 20 March 2012 Age: 17 Location: Azzun village, West Bank Accusation: Throwing stones and Molotov cocktails On 20 March 2012, a 17-year-old boy from Azzun village, in the occupied West Bank, is arrested by Israeli soldiers near a road used by settlers. At around 7:00 pm, on 20 March, 17-year-old Mahmoud was with two friends by a road near their village that is used by Israeli settlers. Two Israeli military jeeps stopped and soldiers got out and started chasing the boys. The soldiers caught Mahmoud who reports that he was beaten. “A soldier caught me and knocked me down,” says Mahmoud. “Then, at least 12 soldiers started beating me hard while I was still on the ground. They kept slapping and kicking me. One of them hit me with his rifle. Then, one of them pulled me up hard, twisted my hands behind my back and tied them with three plastic cords […] the cords were very tight.” Once he was tied, Mahmoud says that the soldiers continued to beat him until his mouth and nose were bleeding. He was then blindfolded and placed in a military vehicle. “Then, one of them pushed me violently inside the jeep and kept me lying on the metal floor. There were soldiers surrounding me inside the jeep. They kept kicking me and insulting me using very obscene words that I do not want to mention. They insulted my mother and my sister,” recalls Mahmoud, who was transferred to Ari’el settlment for questioning. Mahmoud estimates that he arrived at the settlement at around 11:00 pm. He was then made to sit in a corridor, still tied and blindfolded, for approximately one hour, during which time he reports being slapped and kicked by people passing by. At around midnight, Mahmoud was taken to a room for interrogation. Although interrogating children at night is prohibited under Israeli civilian law, the practice is not prohibited under military law which is applied to Palestinian children. Mahmoud’s blindfold was removed but he remained tied. Mahmoud says the interrogator shouted at him and slapped him across the face during the interrogation. He was accused of throwing stones and Molotov cocktails. The interrogation lasted until 7:00 am at which point Mahmoud confessed to throwing stones. Following the interrogation, Mahmoud was transferred to the settlement of Qarne Shomron where he was given a brief medical check. Mahmoud says that he told the doctor that he had been beaten but he was not given any treatment. The doctor simply asked Mahmoud a number of questions from a list he was holding. Mahmoud was then transferred to Huwwara interrogation centre, near the city of Nablus. On arrival the soldiers wanted to strip search Mahmoud, who refused to strip, and was then beaten. Later that day he was transferred to Megiddo prison, inside Israel, in violation of the Fourth Geneva Convention which prohibits transfers out of occupied territory.
