Israeli cop who murdered autistic man acquitted

Occupied Jerusalem (QNN)- The investigation department of the Israeli police in occupied Jerusalem decided on Wednesday to acquit the Israeli cop, who murdered the autistic young man, Iyad Al Hallaq, from his charges.

Israeli media reported that the Israeli police closed the file of the murder of Hallaq although he did not pose any danger.

The Israeli police department, however, is considering to send the Israeli cop for trial over “reckless homicide.

On May 30, Israeli police officers opened fire at Iyad Hallaq, a 32-year-old Palestinian autistic man, accusing him of holding a gun, which turned out to be his gloves and face mask.

Hallaq was shot with ten bullets even with the appeals of bystanders, who repeatedly told the police that Hallaq wasn’t posing any threat.

Israeli police claimed that Hallaq was holding a toy gun but changed its claims claiming that the disabled guy refused to obey police orders.
