CAIR-Florida ask U.S. Department of State to intervene on behalf of American citizen (TAMPA, FL 7/04/14) - The Florida chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-Florida) today called on the U.S. Department of State to demand that Israel immediately release 15-year-old Palestinian-American high school student Tariq Khdeir so that he may receive emergency medical attention after being brutally beaten by Israeli forces. Khdeir's beating was captured on video. VIDEO: Soldiers Holding Tariq Khdeir Down and Brutally Beating Him http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDENWw... On July 3, Khdeir, cousin of kidnapped and murdered Palestinian teen Mohammed Abu Khdeir, was beaten by Israeli soldiers and incarcerated with severe medical injuries. His family has reported to CAIR-Florida that he seems to have a broken nose, broken chin and his eyes are swollen shut. He is unconscious and chained to a bed and his mother is not allowed within 15 feet of him. Tariq Khdeir is a sophomore in High School at UAF in Tampa Florida and an American-born citizen. "It is the duty of American officials to intervene and secure the release of an American citizen who was so viciously attacked and denied medical treatment," said CAIR-Florida Chief Executive Director Hassan Shibly. Shibly noted that CAIR's Sacramento Valley chapter took part in a memorial service last night with California relatives of Mohammed Abu Khdeir, who was abducted and killed near his home in Jerusalem on Wednesday.
