Video Description (from Youtube)

20-year-old Ahmad Tazaza’a died in Israeli custody after being held under administrative detention without charge. His mother tells MEE she convinced him to surrender to Israeli forces, believing

jail would protect him:
“I told him to hand himself in… I thought he’d be safe. They returned him to me dead.”

Israel continues to withhold his body, leaving the family unable to bury their son.

This film is part of MEE’s wider investigation into the treatment of Palestinian detainees.
