IsraelNN.com) After 54 days in jail, the court has released Eliyahu Herbst because there is no incriminating evidence against him. He was released with no limitations at all.
Herbst ,father of 6 and grandfather of 2, was originally arrested in Arad during the first roadblockings, for "standing in an illegal assembly and not dispersing." The judge offered to release him on condition that he not take part in further illegal demonstrations, but he refused, saying, "The evidence against me shows that I was only standing nearby - so that means that every time I walk in the street I can be accused of violating the conditions."
During his stay in jail, the police consistently abused him, physically and emotionally. Individuals from the Nahshon unit violently pushed and dragged him while bringing him, handcuffed, to jail. In the Maaseyahu prison, he was kept in solitary confinement for 20 days, with no reason given. He was also given other punishments, such as denial of visits and phone calls, with no explanation."
