Police again raid a prominent East Jerusalem bookshop whose Palestinian owners were briefly detained last month in an incident that sparked an international outcry.
Speaking to The Times of Israel today, Educational Bookshop co-owner Mahmoud Muna says police arrested his older brother Imad, who also manages the store. He adds that police did not present them with a court-issued search warrant.
Police detained Mahmoud and his nephew Ahmad after conducting a raid on the bookshop last month, accusing them of incitement and drawing protests from a several diplomats and other figures in Jerusalem’s cultural scene.
