Balad activists protest outside court ahead of Ghattas hearing

Dozens of activists from Balad protest outside Rishon Lezion Magistrate’s Court, where party MK Basel Ghattas is to appear today for a remand hearing.

Ghattas was arrested last week for allegedly passing cellphones and messages to Palestinian terrorists jailed in Israel.

His supporters at the court are carrying banners reading “Release Ghattas” and “End political persecution,” Ynet reports.
