Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePolice have apologized to the family of a Palestinian youth with down syndrome after forces treated him roughly yesterday during a protest in Sheikh Jarrah, East Jerusalem.
A top officer in the Jerusalem police met with the young man’s family and said he regretted the incident and that people with special needs should be treated “with particular understanding.”
But he adds that special needs individuals should not be used “cynically and wrongly” in political protests.
