Nahman Geva, a 51-year-old protester who spent the night in a jail cell after being arrested in yesterday’s protests, tells Walla news he has been barred from protesting for 15 days.
“At the end of the restraining order period I’ll go back to protesting,” he says, adding he is not frightened of being arrested again. “What frightens me is what’s happening in the country and what this government and Knesset are rushing toward.”
He says he doesn’t know why he was arrested, after protesting at Karkur Junction yesterday. Police sprayed demonstrators with foul-smelling water and when he did not move, he was taken in.
He says throughout his questioning by police it seemed they did not know themselves why he had been arrested, giving various, changing justifications.
“They really didn’t know,” he says.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
