Protest leader arrested outside minister’s home, then released

An organizer of the protests against the government’s judicial reform is arrested at a demonstration outside a minister’s home in Tel Aviv.

The protester, Moran Zer Katzenstein, is released about an hour after being detained at the rally outside the home of Minister for the Advancement of the Status of Women May Golan, of Likud.

Katzenstein’s group, Women Building an Alternative, said, “We went to protest with bells, a legal protest with no violence, beneath the home of Minister May Golan.”

“We went to remind her that she too could be the next one harmed by this dangerous, anti-democratic legislation,” the group says.

Labor party leader Merav Michaeli blasts the arrest, saying, “The Israel Police must be neutral and objective. You’re not a political police force.”
