E/CN.4/1992/17 page 43 For example, in addition to the medical findings mentioned above, his claim that he was interrogated by seven interrogators simultaneously was highly unlikely. Moreover, owing to the number of policemen who were involved in different stages of this case, it was impossible to attribute the two bruises on Jadallah's body to any specific individual. Without such attribution it was, unfortunately, impossible to initiate criminal proceedings. The authorities were particularly sensitive to complaints by minors, especially where there was medical evidence supporting some aspects of the complaint. Therefore, although no criminal file had been opened against any of the policemen who arrested or interrogated Jadallah, his complaint file was still pending additional review. (b) Regarding the case of Waiid Abu-Surur and the "Runners for Peace" group (see E/CN.4/1991/17, para. 94), it was stated that on 17 April 1990 stones had been thrown at Israeli soldiers from the Aida refugee camp. The soldiers entered the camp, arrested one of the stone-throwers, Mustafa Akal, and later went to Walid Abu-Surur's house to question him about his participation in the incident and the identity of the stone-throwers. In order to avoid the outbreak of disturbances in the camp the soldiers asked Abu-Surur to accompany them. He refused and, at one point, grabbed the coat of one of the soldiers. The latter, in order to release himself, struck Abu-Surur with his rifle butt. According to the reply, this was the only instance in which the soldiers struck Walid Abu-Surur, although he continued to resist their efforts to take him to the jeep. The soldiers in question had never previously encountered Mustafa Akal or Walid Abu-Surur and had not even heard of the group, "Runners for Peace". Their action was in response to the stone-throwing incident described above. (c) Regarding the case of Riad Shehabi (see E/CN.4/1991/17, para. 95) it was stated that his complaint had been thoroughly investigated by the Public Complaints Unit of the Israel Police and subsequently by the State Attorney's Office. As a result of this investigation, on 21 March 1991 criminal charges were filed against First Sergeant Rami Chefetz under section 380 of the Penal Law (1977) for assault causing bodily harm. The Government added that the case would be tried in the Jerusalem Magistrate's Court. 129. On 17 April 1991 the Special Rapporteur sent a letter to the Government of Israel transmitting information alleging cases of torture of Palestinians in connection with the uprising in the occupied territories. The perpetrators were said to be members of the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) and agents of the General Security Services (GSS). The following detailed cases of alleged torture were reported: (a) Amal 'Auda Qabna, aged 17, from Jericho, was arrested on 8 May 1990 and allegedly beaten on the head by the arresting officers. She was said to have suffered repeated headaches from the beating. (b) Farah Yunis, aged 19, from the Rafah refugee camp, was arrested at his home on 24 August 1990. At the military headquarters, Faraj was reportedly subjected to torture by soldiers who beat him, squeezed his genitals and choked him. He allegedly experienced a nervous breakdown and hallucinations and attempted suicide at least once.
