BEERSHEBA (Ma'an) -- An Israeli court in Beersheba extended the detention of 13 prisoners arrested while taking part in anti-Prawer protests in the Negev on Saturday.

The detainees are named Atef Abu al-Qi'an, 26, Atef Abu Ayyash, 43, Osama Nasasra, 18, Obeida al-Hawashla, 20, Jamal al-Sayed, 23, Rakan Abu Wadi, 22, Elghad Siyon, 27, Suleiman al-Sayed, 24, Rahman Ibn Bari, 23, Raed Salem al-Sayed, 13, Taleb Abu Freej, 42, and his sons Nidal Taleb Abu Freej, 20, Raouf Taleb Abu Freej, 18.

Atef Abu al-Qi'an complained to the judge that he was severely beaten by a police officer.

Among the detainees is 13-year-old Raed Salam al-Sayed. Photos and videos of his violent arrest by Israeli police circulated on social media Sunday.

The teenager was dragged on the ground en route to the police care, even as Knesset member Ahmad al-Tibi tried to prevent police from arresting him.

The demonstrations were part of at least 30 protests against the Prawer Plan worldwide that took place on Saturday.

The Israeli government approved the Prawer-Begin Plan in 2011, in what it says was an attempt to address the problem of unrecognized Bedouin villages in the Negev desert of southern Israel.

According to the Association for Civil Rights in Israel, the plan will forcibly evict nearly 40,000 Bedouin and destroy their communal and social fabric, condemning them to a future of poverty and unemployment.

Other estimates put the number of Bedouin residents to be evicted by the Prawer Plan at 70,000.

Israel refuses to recognize 35 Bedouin villages in the Negev, which collectively house nearly 90,000 people.

The Israeli government denies them access to basic services and infrastructure, such as electricity and running water, and refuses to place them under municipal jurisdiction.
