[VIDEOS IN EXTENDED ARTICLE] Hundreds of right-wing activists held a stormy protest at the Jerusalem Cords Bridge on behalf of the Jewish detainees being held in ISA (Israel Security Agency – Shin Bet) custody. According to Honenu reports and attorneys representing the detainees, they are being subjected to unacceptable interrogation including sleep deprivation and physical abuse and are not permitted to bring tefilin or meet with their lawyers. They are not being charged with a crime due to the lack of evidence against them. They are held in administrative detention.
The protesters confronted police and it was a cat and mouse chase as the major vehicular route near the bridge was opened as closed. Protestors closed the entrance to the capital during the stormy protest, demanding the release of the detainees, which related to the Duma arson case. Last week Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon condemned Jewish terrorism, adding he lacks evidence in the Duma case.
It is reported on Monday morning 9 Teves that two of the detainees were released during the night. Additional information will be provided when it becomes available.

There should be an investigation if they were tortured and if so, then the people responsible for it should face the penalty for their illegal actions.
No evidence then release & detain the Arab suspects.
maybe now even the “national” religous Zionists are finally seeing what the charedim have been saying forever, that the Zionist state is a Hellenist anti-Yiddish tuma, that we should be fighting against not for.

youre the same person that claims the ISA treats everyone with “equal kindness”…..
Please please when you live in a medinat shel chessed and your grandparents boat had the luck to arrive in NY and not in Ashdod; be quiet…… this is their govt.. they have no other. Fighting against it is very easy from your suburban in Kiryas Yoel; thats all they talk about the whole day… When you live in this state the approach is one you’ll never understand. everyone knows the state of mind of the govt and theres a way of respecting without respecting the mind of it… citizens are citizens and they need to abide by law. respecting doesn’t mean believing; and not believing in something doesn’t mean fighting against it either.
Geula, I think you mixed up karlbenmarx with akuperma
