A force headed towards my son Ashraf who was sleeping in the living room and took his ID and then handcuffed him and took him to the police car. He explained that the forces searched the house and its facilities after arresting his son in addition to searching the garden. They also took all the pictures off the walls and searched behind them as well as damaging closets and cupboards.
