Full Text;
“Earlier this evening, Shmuel Meidad, the head of the Honenu legal aid society was arrested by police at his home in Hevron. The charges against Meidad include involvement in an unidentified incident in Kiryat Malachi. Meidad was never questioned regarding the charges for which he was arrested today.”
“‘Honenu was established to defend the rights of those ‘whose civil rights and entitlement to fair and even-handed justice have been violated,’ according to the organization’s literature. Specifically, Honenu has offered aid in the cases of those arrested for protesting recent government policies or those arrested in connection with self-defense against Arab terrorists.”
“Meidad’s neighbors told reporters that they consider the arrest political abuse by the police, because Meidad assists right-wingers arrested for ideologically motivated protest actions.”
