Second suspect held for threatening judges released to house arrest

A Jerusalem man arrested overnight on suspicion of threatening judges on the military tribunal that found Sgt. Elor Azaria guilty on manslaughter Wednesday has been released to house arrest.

The suspect is banned from using a computer, phone or internet for the next two weeks as part of the conditions for his release. He is also slapped with a restraining order keeping him away from lead judge Maya Heller for three months, according to Army Radio.

The 54-year-old was arrested after posting a call for violence against three judges on Facebook.

A second person, a 22-year-old woman from Kiryat Gat, was arrested for a similar post in which she called on readers to attack the judges, including urging grenade attacks against Heller.

She was earlier released to house arrest on condition that she refrain from contacting Heller. She also agreed not to post on Facebook for 30 days.
