Halak family accuses cops of wiping evidence, after police claim CCTV cameras from shooting weren’t working

The family of an autistic Palestinian man who was shot dead by police officers in the Old City of Jerusalem in May is demanding that an investigation be opened into suspicions that police tampered with evidence from the incident.

The statement from the attorney representing Iyad Halak’s family comes shortly after the Justice Ministry’s Police Internal Investigations Department announced that the CCTV cameras in the garbage room where the young man was killed were not working during the time of the shooting.
