The Be’er Sheva District Court exonerated a Havat Maon resident accused of assaulting foreign left-wing activists near his community in the Southern Har Hevron region. The resident was detained a year and a half ago and indicted for aggravated assault. Honenu Attorney Avihai Hajbi is representing the resident.

Honenu Attorney Avichai Hajbi welcomed the verdict and said, “The court ruled that during cross-examination, it was revealed that the State wanted to convict my client on the basis of unreliable testimony from the complainant – a foreign anarchist and manipulative liar. The court also ruled that the Israel Police tried to incriminate my client by deceptive means. I am pleased that the court did not submit to pressures from either the State Attorney’s office or the US Embassy and exonerated my client.
