Court extended remand on three youths arrested in Binyamin

Monday, October 3 16:37 Jerusalem Magistrate Court Judge Gad Ehrenberg this afternoon extended the remand of the three youths arrested in the Shiloh Bloc on suspicion of plotting to commit a crime.
Their remand has been extended until Wednesday, when the police are expected to submit a charge sheet against them.
During the deliberation Honenu attorney Itzik Baum demanded that the police representative reveal what the “burglary tools” found in the suspicious vehicle are. After several attempts to avoid answering, the police investigator replied that the item is an adjustable wrench, but immediately added that other tools which he cannot specify were also in the vehicle.
Honenu attorney Itzik Baum, who is representing the three, responded to the remand and said that “I have a feeling that the announcement of the arrest is meant to satisfy the Prime Minister and the political leadership who want arrests at any price, even though they were arrested before the mosque was set on fire tonight. The crux of the matter is that three people were delayed on site, one suspect was released on site and arrested four days later. If there is evidence in the case and the police released the suspect on site, then they are not the Israeli Police but rather the Chelm Police.” Baum added that “according to the police claim in the court transcript, the suspects were arrested approximately one hundred meters from the car involved, which indicates weak evidence against them. We stress that the detainees are minors with no criminal records whose rights have been violated during their remand.”
