Israeli police have released one of the detainees arrested this week at the Haredi protest near the Tunnel Checkpoint in Jerusalem, according to Israeli media. Fellow protesters lifted the released man on their shoulders and danced around him. Video by Eli Hirshman (per Section 27a).
This bulletin reports the release of a detainee from the ongoing Haredi protest in Jerusalem. The detainee was arrested earlier this week by undercover police officers at the Tunnel Checkpoint. The crowd celebration—carrying the released man on shoulders and dancing—was filmed by photojournalist Eli Hirshman under Section 27a of the Copyright Law (incidental publication in a news context). As The Zioneer reported on June 8, undercover officers dressed in Haredi clothing had carried out the original arrest on Bar Ilan Street. On June 10, protesters attempted to block the extradition of draft evaders to military police in a related event. The current release appears to defuse one point of tension in the broader demonstrations over Haredi military service.
