The 'Jerusalem faction' says a young Haredi man detained during last week's Soleberg protest near Abu Kabir was released shortly ago. The release comes amid ongoing tensions between police and ultra-Orthodox demonstrators.
According to a report by the Jerusalem faction (a Haredi activist group in the capital), a young yeshiva student (avrech) who was arrested during last week's Soleberg protest at the Abu Kabir detention center was released on Wednesday afternoon. The Soleberg protests erupted over the detention of Haredi draft-dodgers and have included major street blockades. As The Zioneer reported earlier on Wednesday, a Haredi official warned that transferring Soleberg detainees to a military prison would escalate the confrontation. The released individual is said to belong to the 'Kanaim' (zealous) circles within the community.
