Tomorrow at 16:00 Jerusalem, Gur Hasidic followers will rally outside Military Prison 10 in a protest coordinated with police, according to the N12 report citing organizer E. Herschman. The demonstration comes a day after the sect's rabbis and Rebbe's sons announced they would lead a similar march at the same location.
Organizer E. Herschman announced the protest via N12, confirming coordination with the Israel Police. The demonstration expands the haredi protest movement, which has gathered momentum following the arrest of IDF draft evaders. Yesterday (Tuesday, 18:22 Jerusalem, as The Zioneer reported), Gur Rebbe's sons and senior rabbis declared they would lead a protest march outside the same military prison. Tomorrow's event thus reinforces that commitment with a stated police coordination, suggesting an orderly but potentially large gathering. The timing, 16:00 Jerusalem, coincides with afternoon release and visiting hours at the prison. No estimate of expected crowd size was given, but the movement's leaders have previously drawn thousands.
