" "This is a verbal harassment," he said.
Al-Tamimi said that Ahed's lawyer obtained the two-hour tape to investigate his daughter from the Israeli authorities because the detainee was a minor.
She said she was held in a cold cell and transferred from one detainee to another. "The Occupation did not observe that she is a minor girl, and no investigator of her sex has attended her, they have violated all international conventions and laws."
He added that "the era of the first ten days of detention was subjected to a difficult and difficult investigation process that does not comply with all international norms and laws and human values, and this comes in the context of breaking the will and model and symbolism taken by the era after all this challenge and engagement.

"
Bassem al-Tamimi confirmed that his daughter Ehd understood the meaning of confronting the occupation. "She refused through silence to mention her name to the interrogators, while she was subjected by the interrogators to a lot of tricks and misrepresentations."
The video, which was broadcast and distributed by the family at the press conference, shows the process of interrogation in part with the era, and showed the meaning of its steadfastness and challenge to the investigators through its commitment to the right to silence, and to be circumvented and threatened and intimidated and try to be questioned in various ways and forms, such as the names of relatives misguided to enter a talk with it or verbal harassment of During the talk about her hair and eyes and only to lure and talk and deal with the investigator.

He will justify all his steps by all means, including informing him, but we will sink all the walls until we show the face and ugliness of the occupation." Admits that what happened with the era is verbal harassment, because there are no offensive words or physical harassment. "
"The video came to us because the age of a minor and the law forces the interrogators to present the investigation video to the lawyer as part of the investigation so that the lawyer has a material to use, and we have used the video in its legal framework," her father said.
"The Israeli courts are one of the components of the occupation that is designed to serve the occupier, which is a cosmetic form of occupation," Basim al-Tamimi said in response to a question about the possibility of the video and its subsequent complaint against the occupation. We do not want to change the form of punishment, because punishment is a punishment whatever its form. "
