It will be interesting to see this "free democracy" in action, again criminalizing free speech. But hey, these are the same assholes who throw historians in jail for writing books.
Ofer Military Prison (Territoires palestiniens) (AFP) - Prominent Palestinian activist Issa Amro went on trial in an Israeli military court Sunday on accusations of inciting violence, charges rights groups call a bid to silence him....
...lawyer Gaby Lasky told reporters the "Israeli military cannot stop non-violent demonstrations with weapons, so they're doing it through criminalisation of ... freedom of speech and freedom of demonstration."
...
"I think we proved it wasn't an illegal demonstration and it was not a violent demonstration, and incitement is not carrying slogans" critical of Israel's occupation, Lasky told reporters.
Amnesty International has said the charges against Amro do not "stand up to any scrutiny."
"If he is convicted, we will consider Issa Amro a prisoner of conscience," Amnesty's Magdalena Mughrabi said previously.
