Judge frees Bedouin man arrested for ‘sarcastic’ arson post
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Beersheba Magistrate’s Court grants conditional release to Anas Abu Dabas, 24, a Bedouin man who was arrested last week after appearing to support arson in a Facebook post.
Police say the file on Abu Dabas, who maintained that the post was satirical, and in fact ridiculed arsonists, has been transferred to the state prosecution for review.
The Joint (Arab) List says in a statement that he was released after police admitted in court that their translation of the post was lacking and did not convey its sarcastic tone.
