“The investigation is fine and there are no personal conclusions,” police sources claimed, but the police insist on not publishing the findings and the announcement of the submission of the investigation was published yesterday (Wednesday) at a relatively late hour. When asked by Ynet about the publication of the conclusions of the investigation, the commissioner’s spokesman, Sen. Baruch Honig, replied: “This is in the meantime.”
According to the police statement, Commissioner Yaakov Shabtai said that “the funeral procession of journalist Sheerin Abu Akala was a complex event. It is impossible to remain indifferent to the harsh images and we must interrogate so that sensitive events such as these are not violently disturbed by rioters and respect the class. ”
Saturn noted that he instructed to interrogate the conduct of the police on the ground in order to draw lessons and improve on similar cases in the future, and stated: “I trust the hands of the Israeli police officers, who will continue to do their job faithfully for the safety of the entire public.”
The EU foreign minister also joined the condemnations. “The European Union is appalled by the sights discovered during the funeral procession of American-Palestinian journalist Sheerin Abu Akala in occupied East Jerusalem. We condemn the disproportionate use of force and the disrespectful behavior of the Israeli police towards the participants in the mourning procession,” said Minister Joseph Burrell. “Allowing a peaceful farewell and letting the mourners mourn peacefully without harassment and humiliation – that is the minimum human dignity. The union reiterates its call for a thorough and independent investigation that will clarify all the circumstances of Abu Akala’s death and prosecute those responsible for its killing.”
