The government denied any involvement in the attacks,[187] and police quickly arrested three young men, at least two of whom were or had been JPH members. They were detained beyond the 14-day legal limit for pre-charge detention and were handcuffed for several days and nights.[188] One detainee, SH, said he was beaten with an iron cable and forced to walk on his knees until they bled.[189] A police officer denied these claims but said he had forced the man to squat throughout the interrogation.[190] Family members who brought the young men food were held and interrogated for eight hours.[191] In October the three men were provisionally released due to lack of evidence.[192] Another suspect, also a JPH member, was arrested in late November and was in pre-trial detention at the time of this writing.[193]
