Protest leader called for police questioning over fiery tweet
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA key organizer of anti-government protests in recent months has been summoned for police questioning.
The cause is apparently a tweet by Roee Neuman in which he said a mounted policeman who struck a young female protester “will sit in prison for long years [and] after he comes out we’ll persecute him for many years. Remember what happened today. It will not be forgiven and not forgotten.”
Roee Neuman’s lawyer Gaby Lasky calls the move to investigate Neuman “political” and claims it is “intended to shut down speech and frighten those criticizing the government.”
