RAMALLAH, June 11, 2013 (WAFA) – A 12-year-old child from Aida refugee camp in Bethlehem the Israeli army had arrested on Monday was admitted to Hadassah hospital in Israel after he was beaten by the soldiers, the Prisoner Club said Tuesday.

It said one of its lawyers visited Husam Khalifa at his hospital bed who told him that he was beaten before being taken to hospital.

Khalifa’s family went to Ofer military court near Ramallah on Monday to attend his court hearing, as they were told, but when they got there they were told he was taken to hospital.

Khalifa’s father said he was with his son until after midnight after he was summoned by the army to the Bethlehem checkpoint, where his son was held.

He said his son did not require hospitalization or any kind of treatment.

The Prisoner Club said Khalifa was going to be taken later to Ofer military camp and prison to appear before a military judge.
