Washington: The US is confirming that a 15-year-old American citizen is being held by Israeli authorities for his alleged role in protests earlier this month in East Jerusalem.
State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said on Monday that considering his age, the US is calling for a speedy resolution to the case of Mohamed Abu Nie.
Psaki says he’s been held since being arrested on July 3 on various charges alleging that he threw rocks, attacked police, was carrying a knife and was leading protests linked to the unrest between Israel and Hamas.
Psaki says the US also is concerned about allegations that he might have been beaten while in custody.
