The Jerusalem Magistrate's court rejected Friday the Prosecutor's Office's second request to ban rightist activist Noam Federman from Judea and Samaria, after he was indicted for aggravated assault of a police officer.
Judge Shulamit Dotan ruled Friday that the Prosecutor's Office petition to forbid Federman from entering Judea and Samaria is premature, and that the rightist activist should be allowed to see the evidence against him before any decision on the matter is taken.

Trial of right-wing activist, accused of assaulting policeman, opens in Jerusalem. Before entering court he tells Ynet, 'All the leftists and evil people won't last
On Thursday, the judge rejected the first request made by the Prosecutor's Office because it failed to hand over the required documents to Federman.
Upon entering the hearing, Federman told Ynet that the prosecutors' request is "ridiculous."
"Everyone saw how the police officers pushed me and my wife and threw Torah a hard time. They are perplexed and lost their way. Nothing will help them, they have no chance."
During the hearing, Federman said that he is gathering evidence that would prove that he was the one attacked by police and not the other way around.
The indictment against him was submitted following the violent clashes between settlers and police during the demolition of two unauthorized structures near Hebron about two weeks ago.
