We are calling for justice for Malik!

Malik's mother reports that Malik Jaffal, age 13, was shot by the IDF in Palestine a month ago for no other reason than simply walking along the same street as them. A few days back, they raided his house, strip searched the him, and arrested him. The boy, a U.S. citizen, is currently being held in a military prison, interrogated, intimidated, and abused with no access to a lawyer or even to his parents. If he doesn’t falsely confess to the crime of throwing rocks, the occupation forces are threatening to arrest his parents. His mother, Dunia, is of the Mustafa family in Paterson. She posted her story on Instagram and asked that it be shared among the community. If you can spare a moment, please contact the American embassy in Jerusalem to urge for the child’s release. 

She says the Israeli government is aware that Malik is a US citizen and are denying him basic rights. They are forcing him to confess to crimes he did not commit, threatening that if he doesn’t, both of his parents will be jailed. Although a minor, Malik is scheduled to appear in court with no family members allowed to watch.
