      Protesters Demand Freedom for Itai Zar


      Dozens of protesters demonstrated outside the Hadarim prison on Saturday night demanding the release of Itai Zar, the owner of Havat Gilad. Zar was arrested last after a confrontation with security forces who tried to dismantle electricity and other infrastructure at the site.

      Organizers of the demonstration said that Zar was punished by jailers after a similar demonstration last Saturday night. Several hours after that protest, which was attended by some 100 people, Zar was put into solitary confinement for two days.
