A Haredi Yeshiva student detained earlier this week has been released to his home, according to a report citing the effect of public pressure. The release came amid ongoing protests by parts of the ultra-Orthodox community over military conscription.
A single report, attributed to the source run by journalist Daniel Amram, states that a Haredi Yeshiva student ("avreikh") has been released to his home "following pressure." The message does not name the individual, specify which protest or arrest it relates to, or provide details on any legal conditions.
The release follows a week of large Haredi protests centered on the Tunnel Checkpoint in Jerusalem, where police arrested several demonstrators. Earlier this week, a police spokesperson confirmed that detainees were being processed. As The Zioneer reported on June 10, one detainee from those protests was released and celebrated by a crowd. It remains unclear whether this is the same individual or a different one.
No further confirmation from police, court officials, or other media outlets is yet available.
