Zion Square, Jerusalem, August 25 - two armed Israel Police appeared today around 1:00pm in the Jerusalem Hostel on Zion Square, and asked to search the belongings of an Austrian student/tourist, staying in the Hostel.
The Hostel refused to permit the Israel Police to conduct warrantless search, and the two armed police immediately left. Upon departing, the policeman said that the Hostel should not expect police to arrive next time it called for help.
According to the subject of the attempted search, he was walking down Jaffa Road near Zion Square, when he was stopped by police driving in a police car. The police told the tourist that they had information that he had smoked joints. They searched the tourist on the spot in the street, but found nothing on him. Next they took him to the Hostel and demanded to search his belongings.
It should be noted that the police were photographed from close range in the Jerusalem Hostel lobby during the exchange, conduct that could be life-threatening for the photographer, if done in the United States today.
Human Rights Alert (NGO) has routinely reported discrimination by law enforcement in Zion Square in recent months.
