I was arrested on the street at around 5:00 p.m. There were clashes in the camp and I was in the area. At one point during the clashes Israeli soldiers started to chase the young men and boys and I ran away. Soldiers chased me and caught me about 100 meters away from where I was standing. They immediately took me to the military watchtower where they tied my hands to the front with one plastic tie. The tie wasn’t too tight.

 

About 10 minutes later soldiers put me into the back of a jeep and I sat on a seat. The jeep drove for about one kilometer and the soldiers swore at me during the journey. One of the soldiers pushed me against the metal frame in the jeep. When the jeep stopped soldiers took me to a shipping container and made me sit on a chair for about three hours. During this time the soldiers did not allow me to use the bathroom.

 

About three hours later soldiers removed the plastic tie and replaced it with metal handcuffs behind my back. They took me to the back of a jeep and this time made me sit on the metal floor. The jeep drove for about 30 minutes before stopping. I was told I was at Atarot police station. They took me to a shipping container and made me sit on a chair. I was still handcuffed. I remained in the shipping container for about two hours.

 

At around 1:30 a.m. I was taken to an interrogation room. I was in the room with the interrogator by myself. He was wearing civilian clothes and I was still handcuffed. The interrogator had a tape recorder on his desk. He asked me for my father’s number and called him to get my details. He then realised I was young. He told me because of my age, my father needed to be in the interrogation room. He called my father again and told him a military vehicle was going to pick him up at the Bethlehem checkpoint.

 

The interrogator then asked me some personal questions and took me back to the shipping container where I waited for another hour before the interrogator came back with my father. I was taken to the interrogation room and my father was allowed to attend the interrogation. The interrogator started by telling me I had the right to remain silent and that I had the right to consult with a lawyer.

 

The interrogator then told me I was accused of throwing stones. I denied the accusation. The interrogator then wanted to know why I had a sling shot in my possession. I told him I was holding the sling shot but didn’t use it. The interrogation lasted for about 40 minutes. In the end the interrogator asked me to sign a document written in Hebrew. The interrogator verbally translated the document and I agreed to sign it.

 

After the interrogation my father was taken back to the Bethlehem checkpoint and I was taken back to the shipping container. Thirty minutes later I was taken back to the jeep. I was still handcuffed. I was then taken to Ofer prison, near Jerusalem. At Ofer I was given a security check. Soldiers asked me to take off my clothes and to remain in my underwear. I was then given prison clothes and taken to Section 13 with other children.

 

On Thursday, 3 April 2014, I was taken to the military court. A lawyer was there to represent me. My father was also there. The lawyer was able to convince the court to release me on bail pending the next court hearing. The court agreed and I was released on bail. My father had to pay NIS 1,000. I was released on the same day at around 7:00 p.m. My father and I arrived home at around 9:00 p.m. I was assigned another court hearing on 31 July 2014.
