Israeli detained in Belgium says he was beaten by police
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleOne of the two Israelis briefly detained in Belgium says that they were beaten by police.
“The officers hit us, we got blows to the face,” one of the unnamed men tells Channel 12 news. “They took us to a secret police station in the compound.”
The two were detained while at a music festival after an activist group that seeks to have Israelis prosecuted for alleged war crimes called for their arrests.
They were released after being questioned and Channel 12 reports that they have most likely already left Belgium.
