False confession revealed in Duma arson case
- 8 years ago
Transcriptions of the interrogation proceedings in the lethal Duma arson case were released on Thursday night, revealing that one minor suspect was forced into making a false confession due to the brutal torture used against him.
The transcriptions were received by Channel 10, and revolve around the case of A., a 17-year-old from Samaria.
Under torture he admitted to committing the arson last July - but he was not indicted for doing so, showing how the torture induced false confessions.
Officials including Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon (Likud) and Internal Security Minister Gilad Erdan (Likud) had admitted prior to the confessions under torture that there was no evidence against the suspects.
