Outrageous: Police Fabricate Story To Charge Chareidi Teen



Just three weeks after a Chareidi protester was cleared of all charges thanks to a video showing his innocence, “Bechadrei Chareidim” reveals another instance; in which a Chareidi teen was arrested, charged, hired a lawyer, fought a lengthy legal battle that costed a large sum of money- and acquitted.

All this, despite him being totally innocent of the false charge, of dragging a burning garbage during a protest on Kikar Hashabbos.

In this case as well, the deciding factor was a video proving the youngster’s innocence, in contrast to the polices testimony which turned out to be an outrageous lie.

In January of 2017 stormy protests erupted in Yerushalayim and Bet Shemesh, after a group of religious girls were arrested in connection to a complication with an army draft order. During a protest in Kikar Hashabbos a 17-year-old Chareidi boy was arrested and charged with shoving a garbage bin down rechov straus towards the center of the intersection.

The teen was also charged with resisting arrest by the undercover officers who came to arrest and claimed to have identified themselves to him- the charges were backed up by the testimony of no less than 4 police officers.

The boy’s attorney, Nadav Gedalyahu, responded to the charges that the boy’s Yeshiva is just a few hundred feet from Kikar Hashabbos and he had just finished Yeshivah and was heading to the bus on Kikar Hashabbos to go home. “He saw people pushing a green garbage on wheels towards Kikar Hashabbos”, said Gedalyahu.

The garbage got caught in the mettle railing on the side of the street, and then the defendant arrived at the intersection- as can clearly be seen on the video.

As the defendant claimed all along, the video shows someone else pulling the garbage towards the intersection. “The defendant’s friend kicked the garbage from the opposite direction to stop it from rolling down the hill and into the intersection. The defendant then grabbed the garbage and tried to pull it upwards to stop it from continuing its downwards decent.

However, he was not successful because someone else was pulling it down, where it eventually rolled down into the center of Bar Kikar Hashabbos” says the attorney.
A short time later 2 undercover officers arrived and arrested the defendant.

In a hearing held yesterday in a Yerushalayim district court house, attorney Ilana Shila from the prosecution announced that “in light of the video presented by the defendant- we are retracting the indictment”, Since it could not be proven that the defendant committed what has been attributed to him.

Judge Rivkah Freidman-Feldman therefore announced, “I acquit the defendant from the crimes attributed to him in this case”.

This is the second time in just one month that attorney Gedalyahu successfully extracted an innocent person from false police testimonies and accusations.
“The feelings are hard” says Gedalyahu, “again the version of the police is accepted as Torah from Sinai, while the Chareidi defendant’s claims are not even investigated. We are preparing a law suit against the state for all the aggravation the defendant has endured for the false accusations against him”.
