''Did the stormy demonstration help?' ''Lifelong prisoner of the Torah', the 22-year-old Havrach Aviel Cohen from Netivot, who was arrested on Monday afternoon at the Gilat junction near Ofakim, in front of his wife - will be released from military prison before Shabbat.
The early release is being carried out after activity by the legal department of the Chayei Olam organization, which protects yeshiva students who are arrested for studying Torah.
The management of the Chaiyy Olam organization stated: "We congratulate Rabbi Cohen on his release and welcome him with the blessing of Baruch, who allows the forbidden to be released. The Chaiyy Olam organization will continue to stand as a wall in form, to accompany and assist yeshiva students and avrechim, until a complete and permanent solution is found for the plight of the Torah world. We will not leave any yeshiva student behind.".
This evening, a rally of support and prayer was held in front of Prison 10 for the ultra-Orthodox "deserters" imprisoned in the military facility by the institutions of the Be'er Talmud Yeshiva, in protest of the arrest of the yeshiva graduate, Rabbi Aviel Cohen.
In the middle of the session, the news was received that his sentence would be shortened, and he would be released from prison.
On Wednesday, activists from the Herzpnikim faction went out to block Highway 4, near Bnei Brak, in a protest against the arrest of the abductor. The demonstration sparked a public outcry due to police violence.
