Major Dovi Yudkin, brother of Captain Israel Yudkin, who fell in the Gaza Strip, spoke today (Sunday) in an interview with Amir Ivgi on Channel 14 about the violent incident in which he was arrested last night by the police during a demonstration in front of the home of ousted MP Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi.
""I'll start from the end," Yudkin began, "Yesterday I left the emergency room at 2:00 AM with a cracked rib, with bruises all over my body.".
Yudkin described the violent arrest he experienced: "The police are pretty much hiding it, but there are documents from all angles and directions, they just took out all their anger on me and I don't even know what for. They didn't tell me 'you're under arrest,' they didn't tell me anything. A policeman just starts pushing me, I said to him 'what are you pushing?' and out of nowhere a bunch of "Yasmaniks" jump on me like you see here and just start punching me. They didn't try to arrest me, they didn't tell me you're under arrest, nothing. They just punched and kicked me and crushed me on the floor there and tore my clothes off.".
Presenter Amir Ivgi noted that at that time, citizens who were there warned the police that it was a bereaved brother, but they ignored him.
""I don't think that as a citizen I have any privilege," said Yudkin. "We are all equal before the law. I came to demonstrate like anyone else, and I participate in many demonstrations. After all, I am a citizen in this country and I have a democratic right to demonstrate.".
Yudkin continued to describe the delusional situation, when he claimed he didn't even know that the place he was standing was not approved for a demonstration: "I was standing on the sidewalk, and across from me the police officer was on the balcony and she saw me. She was at home with her family for the weekend. And she saw me getting beaten to death. I didn't block anything, I didn't call for anything to break the law, I got beaten to death. And she's like in her own home, as they say, enjoying her rights. And the hardest thing here is that there are always civilians. I don't remember a single protester ever coming out with broken bones, getting beaten to death, and here the police allowed themselves to.".
