Three ultra-Orthodox yeshiva students were detained by police and forced to strip to their underpants and undergo a body search in the stairwell of a residential building during the Pride Parade in Tel Aviv last month, because they were regarded as “suspicious characters,” according to one of the detaining officers.
The three said they were not given any specific reason for being detained, but one of the police officers said to them, “We are detaining everyone we think might pull something – Haredim, Arabs, and we will also detain Ethiopians.” The three filed a complaint this week with the police ombudsman, and they plan to file a claim for damages against the Dan police station.
