Far-left activist Nawi accused of making contact with a foreign agent
Far-left activist Ezra Nawi is being accused by police of making contact with a foreign agent, a day after being arrested while trying to leave the country.
Nawi sparked a political furor after being filmed saying he helps the Palestinian Authority track down Palestinians who sell land to Jews for punishment or execution, in a segment aired on an investigative TV program last week.
Police at an arraignment hearing requested Nawi be ordered to remain in prison for at least 10 days, according to Haaretz.
Other details of the investigation remain under gag order.
