including Sheikh Saed
Sheikh Saed Tuesday, 21.11.2006, AMAnat T.Report on checking of children at the Sheikh Saed CP – This morning at 07:00 I had a call from M., teacher and human rights activist living in Sheikh Saed. She reported that the soldiers at the CP ordered the pupils and children into a line, including the special education children, and checked each one thorouoghly. The children did not fully understand what was going on, and some pushing erupted (in a place with plenty of coiled barbed wire, as everyone knows), and the teachers present had to intervene. Because of the extensive checks some 20 children missed the bus to school. All her appeals to the soldiers and the commander sitting in the jeep and watching were ignored.After a phone call to Elisha, the DCO from Ma’ale-Adumim, and Yamit, director of the “Jerusalem envelope” border-police commander’s office, the matter was taken care of. Please continue tracking events in the coming days at this location.
