Amro recounts settler attack Beatings and army detention

Oct 2

Goodman and Issa Amro discuss his Friday detention near Hebron after he went to help a Palestinian family threatened at a farm near a settler outpost. Amro says settlers threatened him with a gun and released a dog that bit him; soldiers handcuffed and blindfolded him, beat him in a Hummer and detained him for seven hours. He describes the father's detention and the mother and children's confinement, later shoulder injury, ongoing physical and psychological pain, and international efforts seeking his release. In the complete interview he also alleges state support for settlement outposts and farm seizures, road expansion and wider displacement and movement restrictions, presenting various broader counts and budgets without dates for separate actions. He calls for international pressure and support for nonviolent resistance. His abuse allegations and wider assessments remain attributed.
