Jerusalem District Court Judge Yehudit Tzur ruled over the weekend that the state has to pay Hevron activist Noam Federman 8,000 shekels for false arrest from 2006. In March of that year, the Jerusalem Magistrate's Court issued a show-cause order against Federman after he arrived late to a hearing. The order was cancelled after police failed to respond to Federman's claim that he arrived late because of army roadblocks.

Federman was arrested twice after that by officers who refused to believe that the order had been cancelled. His suit for harassment was denied by the magistrate's court, but his appeal of the case was accepted by the district court, which called the police action careless and illegal.
