A Palestinian father who was called in for questioning by Israel Police brought his 4 year old son with him and claimed that his son was the one summoned for questioning in order to create a media storm, according to Israel Police Foreign Press Spokesman Micky Rosenfeld.


The Palestinian WAFA news agency reported on Tuesday that Israel Police summoned Muhammad Rabi' Elayyan, a 4 year old resident of the east Jerusalem neighborhood of Issawiya, for questioning on Monday at the police station on Salah Eddin Street in Jerusalem on suspicion of throwing stones at a police vehicle. 

When they arrived at the station, the police officers said that he wasn't summoned and that there was no questioning. Elayyan showed the officers a paper confirming his name and Muhammad's name.
"They threatened that next time they would take Muhammad and my answer was that Muhammad did not know what 'army' meant and he didn't know about the stones!" said Rabi'.
The Human Rights and Civil Society Department of the PLO condemned the international silence on the "crimes and violations committed by the Israeli government against the children of Palestine," according to WAFA. The statement added that Israeli forces "acted like they're above international law" and came to "terrorize the Palestinian people and to send a message to them that no one can help them or protect them, including the United Nations, the Security Council and all international organizations."
The PLO Department added that the town of Issawiya has been under a "tight military seige" and undergone various campaigns to "harass and retaliate against citizens as part of collective punishment."

 

Al Jazeera published a video of Elayyan being escorted to the police station by dozens of Jerusalem residents on Twitter.
Rabi', Muhammad's father, brought him to the police station as dozens of Issawiya residents protested outside the station. In Israel, a child under age twelve may not be arrested, interrogated as a suspect or brought to trial, according to the Library of Congress.
 
Wadi Hilweh Information Center, a Palestinian watchdog agency, posted a video of the four-year-old crying as he was carried by his father. His father was briefly interrogated by the police and released, according to WAFA.
