Albawaba. 31 December 2002. Palestinians: Israeli troops beat to death teenager.
HEBRON -- Palestinians accused Israeli troops on Monday of beating to death a teenager in the West Bank city of Hebron. Late on Monday, a 17-year-old Palestinian was pronounced dead in hospital in Hebron after he was beaten by soldiers who stopped him for a curfew violation, Palestinian officials said. According to the witnesses, the youth, Amram Abu Hamediye, was working at the Andalus petrol station in the industrtial zone in south Hebron when an Israeli jeep patrol arrived on the scene. The soldiers checked a group of youths and then pulled Hamediye onto the jeep and drove away. About 15 minutes later the jeep returned, and drove through the gas statuion, throwing the body of the youth out of the jeep without stopping. His friends took him to the hospital, where sources said the body was covered with brusies and he had injuries to his head. Hospital officials were quoted as saying the youth was hit with rifle butts. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ------------------------------------------- Macdonald Stainsby http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/listinfo/rad-green http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/listinfo/leninist-international -- In the contradiction lies the hope. --Bertholt Brecht _______________________________________________ Leninist-International mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To change your options or unsubscribe go to: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/listinfo/leninist-international
