LRC visit to the town

During LRC field worker's visit to Al Yamun, he met one of the victims, Mr. Farid Abdallah Hushiya, 50 years old, a graduate of Alexandria university, and resident of Hushiya quarter where the violation took place. He said the following: 

' At 3: AM, June 27th, 2004, we were awakened by sounds of loud speakers enforcing curfew on the town. The sounds of loud speakers were accompanied by bullet fire, sound bombs, tear gas bombs, screaming and shouting. In the midst of these actions, my house was stormed by dozens of soldiers and police dogs who were smashing windows, furniture and bed rooms. All the house occupants were detained in one room for the period of four hours during which no one was allowed to use the toilet, eat or drink or make phone calls. The house was thoroughly searched and furniture destroyed in a savage way. Most of the houses in the area became under similar sabotage and terror acts under the pretext of security threats.  A state of terror and fear prevailed among children and women throughout the search processes, especially, after seeing dogs moving around in the house. Even, religious, social and school books and magazines were destroyed.  Food and medicine was cut off from the attacked area for the period of two days'.
