How the Shabak use the children of Palestine

13/04/2010

My name is Yasser Awad Yasin. I am 27 years old and I’m from the village of Bil’in. I’m married and I have two sons and one daughter.

Before the army invaded my house the Shabak (Israeli security service) called me on the phone and told me to go to their office. I didn’t go so the army raided my house. I was sleeping with my wife and children when they woke us all up. I asked them what they were doing because I didn’t do anything. They asked me for my ID and they told me to go to the Shabak offices tomorrow. I asked them why they don’t arrest me now and then the soldiers gave me papers to order me to go for questioning.
