Jewish activist who secretly married on Temple Mount banned for 6 months
The activist who last month secretly got married at the Temple Mount in an act of protest, is barred from entering the holy site for six months by police.
Tom Nisani, a member of the Students for the Temple Mount group which seeks to increase Jewish access to the site, married Sarah Lurcat in a hurried ceremony to protest against Israeli-imposed rules forbidding Jewish religious rituals at the flashpoint site.
In a Facebook post, Nisani slams the ban, claiming barring him from visiting the Temple Mount is a violation of his basic rights.
