An “absentee” session for the wounded merchant Sinan Barakat
A hearing was held in absentia in the Magistrate Court for the Jerusalemite merchant Sinan Barakat, while the merchant was in the intensive care unit at “Shaare Zedek” Hospital, and the police asked to extend his detention for 5 days on suspicion of “assaulting settlers.” After deliberations between the police and the merchant’s lawyer, the judge decided to release him on conditional terms.
The lawyer of the Wadi Hilweh Information Center, Mohammad Mahmoud, explained that the judge released his client on the condition that he be deported from the scene of the event, “the Bazaar Market,” for two weeks and on financial bail. He explained that the police requested an extension of his client’s detention despite the severe injury his client suffered from settlers’ bullets.
Lawyer Mohammad Mahmoud pointed out that 3 of the settlers who were involved in the shooting incident were released from the army yesterday, Wednesday, “under the pretext that the incident was self-defense.” As for the fourth settler, he was brought to court today and was also released.
On Wednesday afternoon, the merchant Sinan was injured by two bullets in his right arm and his right leg. He underwent surgery that lasted approximately 6 hours. The police were present upon the arrival of the injured person in the hospital and then in the intensive care room where he was lying, because he was under arrest. Immediately after the release decision was issued, the police came out and allowed his family members to visit him to check on him.
Raids and arrests
The forces continued to storm towns and neighborhoods in the city of Jerusalem, and in the dawn hours, they stormed the Shu’fat refugee camp and the town of Anata and arrested a young man.
In the afternoon, they stormed the Ras al-Amoud neighborhood in Silwan, arrested two children, and summoned a boy for interrogation and released them afterwards.
