Jafar Farah after release: 'Time for police to educate cops'
Jafar Farah, director of the Mossawa Center who was arrested after a Friday protest in Haifa and whose leg was broken thereafter, said after his release from detention that, "It's time for the Israel Police to educate its cops to respect freedom of speech and not oppress people."
"This isn't Iran. If Israel wants to follow in Iran's footsteps, let it, but stop calling it a democracy. What happened here is a disgrace to any democratic country. It's inconceivable for people who went out protesting to be repressed like this, hurt physically, beaten and humiliated," he exclaimed.
