The Israeli occupation police on Tuesday evening physically assaulted a number of Palestinian women and arrested three of them during their participation in a peaceful sit-in staged in Jerusalem in protest at the murder of a local young man with autism.
According to eyewitnesses police officers savagely attacked the participants in the sit-in and violently rounded up three women.
The detained women were identified as Hala Marshoud Wijdan al-Ghoul and Zaynah Barbar.
On May 30 the 32-year-old autistic victim Iyad Hallaq was walking to his special needs school in the Old City of Jerusalem when Israeli officers shouted at him to stop and then cold-bloodedly shot him dead after he ran and cowered behind a dumpster.
