JERUSALEM — Israeli police chief Yaacov Turner on Sunday suspended three policemen charged with torturing a Palestinian prisoner to extract a false confession.
A police spokeswoman said Turner transferred five other officers charged in the same case from an investigative unit in Jerusalem that interrogates Arabs.
The interrogators are suspected of severely beating the bound Palestinian inmate in a Jerusalem prison two years ago to make him confess to a murder he did not commit.
