    #kafkaesque move against #freedom of expression

    detention of Razi Nabulsi, a young #Palestinian activist from Haifa. He was taken from his home on Wednesday 9.10.2013, with his computer, cellphone, books and papers.

    His detention was extended twice, based on his statuses in #Facebook and tweets in #Tweeter. In four different court hearings during the week (two remands and two appeals) the Haifa court decided that his statuses constitute a danger to the state of Israel.

    The most wired thing about it was that the prosecution refused to tell in the court what did Razi write in those statuses… They claimed that at the stage of remand the prosecution is allowed to conceal the “secrets of the investigation”.

    (...)

    Razi gave us many examples to the statuses he was interrogated about, divided between the foolish, misleading #translations, ignorance, gossip, whatever. But at least in one case I could understand the horror his status aroused in the people that are responsible to state security.

    Razi wrote in his status: “One day the #nightmare will be over”. The interrogator claimed he clearly wrote it to express his wish that the state of #Israel will cease to exist!
