A senior Eida Chareidis askan was arrested during Thursday morning 12 Kislev in his home on Bar Ilan Street in Jerusalem. He was arrested for operating a phone ‘Nayis’ line called Kol Chavrei HaEida Chareidis (The voice of members of the Eida Chareidis – ‘קול חברי העדה החרדית’), using the phone line to advance protests against IDF induction over recent weeks.

While the arrest was being made, officials simultaneously arrived at the home of a person who broadcasts to another similar phone line, confiscated phones and equipment and then placing him under arrest.
