Atty. Gaby Lasky, who is representing the minors, spoke with police on the phone and she was told that the 11 year old and another girl, who apparently has learning and speech disabilities, were released once their parents were contacted. The two others were being held for questioning. “I have a murder and manslaughter cases that they haven’t questioned the suspects for over a year, but [these girls] need to be interrogated immediately, and without the presence of their parents,” Lasky said. If the girls were Jewish, it would be illegal for the police to question them without the presence of their parents. A request for comment was sent to the police and IDF spokespersons. We will update this article if and when they respond. Update: According to B’Tselem, the two remaining girls were being released without charge or bail. 972mag/young-palestinian-girls-detained-on-suspicion-of-eating-cherries/91411/
