Evidence submitted by prosecutors in support of indictments brought against social protest leader Daphni Leef and others indicates that Israel Police have been carefully following the Facebook accounts of the social protest movement and its leaders, apparently as part of a hunt for evidence of criminal wrongdoing.
In addition to video footage and documents related to this summer's protests and the arrest of protest leaders, the Tel Aviv District police prosecutors also submitted evidence including screen shots of Leef's Facebook page that appear to contain no direct evidence of wrongdoing.
The police appear to have presented the screen shots in an effort to document the events leading up to the June 22 protest on Tel Aviv's Rothschild Boulevard, as well as the general atmosphere there. Leef's first hearing took place January 23.
"Without relating to the content of the question, the prosecution in the State of Israel has the authority to compose the indictment based on its professional considerations and the evidentiary basis of the case," the police said in a statement. "The cases mentioned in the [Haaretz report] are in the midst of the judicial process and any comment on them should be made through the courts." Full story...
