The Haifa Magistrate's Court convicted a police officer of assaulting the late Muhammad Abd al-Salam Majadla from Baqa al-Gharbiyye, in a case dating back to 2022. The Musawa Center welcomed the decision, noting that it accompanied the family in following the case until the conviction was issued. According to the center, the court concluded that the officer used force without legal justification, and rejected his claim that his action was due to a feeling of danger. Following the assault, Majadla suffered injuries and a deterioration in his psychological condition that required treatment, and later died in a traffic accident. The center renewed its condemnation of the use of violence by police officers, stressing that the powers granted to them do not justify assaulting citizens.
