Asher Benjamin Weiss, the Haredi man from Bnei Brak accused of spying for Iran, alleges that Israel Prison Service personnel are abusing him by throwing stun grenades without provocation, beating him, forcing him to kneel, and threatening him with a rifle to his head. The High Court of Justice ruled yesterday that his petition will be heard by the district court, according to a report.
In a new disclosure from prison, Asher Benjamin Weiss, the 27-year-old Haredi man accused of spying for Iran, has detailed a pattern of alleged abuse by the Israel Prison Service (IPS). Weiss claims that guards throw stun grenades into his cell without any provocation, beat him, sometimes handcuff him and force him to kneel, and threaten him with a rifle to the head. The allegations, described as a "first publication" by the source channel and attributed to journalist Toviy Yagelnik, add a fresh dimension to an already sensitive case. As The Zioneer reported moments ago, the High Court of Justice has already ruled that the district court will hear Weiss's petition regarding his treatment. The IPS has not yet issued a formal response to the new claims, which have not been independently verified. The case underscores the heightened security and public scrutiny surrounding suspected Iranian espionage activity within Israel.
