Prominent anti-migrant activist detained at Tel Aviv rally
Prominent anti-migrant activist Sheffi Paz has been detained by police officers as dozens of right-wingers continue their protest outside Chief Justice Esther Hayut’s Tel Aviv home.
Demonstrators are protesting the High Court’s treatment of residents of southern Tel Aviv complaining about alleged crime by African asylum seekers in their neighborhoods.
Paz scrawls slogans on the road, causing cops to whisk her away.
כמה מפגינים ניסו לגונן בגופם על שפי, אבל היסמניקים לקחו אותה. לא ברור אם עוכבה או נעצרה pic.twitter.com/rVJD2P7GgE

Another activist, Doron Avrahami, is also taken away by cops.
Officers also confiscate megaphones which police say were causing “unreasonable noise.”
