The indictment further stated that the father "tied her hands behind her back and led her to a cave near their home, where he whipped her with a belt and demanded that she tell him the truth about where she goes when she is not home. The girl told her father about a relationship she had, and then he led her back to their house with the girl's hands still tied." Furthermore, shortly after almost drowning her in a well, he threatened her that she would die if she associated herself with Jews. It was not until the end of July that she managed to escape from him and reached Palestinian police.The prosecution requested that his incarceration be extended until the end of the proceedings and that the court extend his detention by five days and prevent him from contacting his daughter.
