Tariq Abu Khdeir and his family went to Washington DC seeking justice from American officials for Tariq, a Palestinian-American teenager who was beaten and arrested without charge in East Jerusalem in early July. Footage of the beating was posted to youtube shortly after. According to reports from Mondoweiss, his lawyer said on Friday that “there is a lot of support” from American officials in Washington.
