Jailors arrest mother of detained Jerusalemite minor during visit

The Israeli Hasharon prison administration arrested the mother of 16-year-old Jerusalemite detainee Shaddad Al-Awar while visiting her son. Amjad Abu Asab, the head of the committee of relatives of Jerusalemite detainees, told Wadi Hilwa information center on Tuesday, that the jailors held the mother in the waiting room for two hours for forgetting her mobile phone in her pocket. He said that the phone was found at the first inspection round, adding that she affirmed to the prison administration that she unwittingly forgot it with her. However, the administration refused to listen to her and insisted on taking her to Kfar Saba police station without allowing her husband or her five-month-old infant to be taken with her, Abu Asab said. He said that the prison administration deprived the mother from visiting her son for two months as a punishment and refused to allow the father to visit his son on that day, adding that it was the first visit to her son since his detention on 5/5/2013. He said that the mother was extremely exhausted especially when she did not sleep the night before visiting her son except for three hours. The central court had extended the remand of the boy until “completion of legal investigations” and the prosecution refused to release him on bail and house arrest
