Student arrested in rally against Gaza op to be compensated
The Beersheba Magistrate's Court ruled that student Ran Tzoref, who was arrested about a year ago in a demonstration against Operation Cast Lead and was accused of rioting and a forbidden gathering, will receive NIS 12,838 in damages.
Judge Sara Haviv acquitted Tzoref, noting that "the damages he should be compensated for are not visible – damage to freedom, the delay of justice he suffered, and of course the damage to the freedom of speech and demonstration." (Ilana Curiel)
