Gov’t planning to restrict protests with heavy fines, easier arrests – report – By Jerusalem Post Staff (Jerusalem Post) / Jan 19, 2023
Police will be able to heavily fine protesters if they “disobey police instructions” or do not agree to leave the area.
The National Security and Justice Ministries are working on a new law that would allow the government to further restrict protests, KAN news reported on Thursday.
The law will include measures such as requiring police permits for any protest including more than 100 people and allowing police officers to kick anyone out of a protest if “their presence could disrupt the peace” for three hours. If even one person is disorderly in the protest, police will be able to disband the entire protest.
Police will also be able to heavily fine protesters if they “disobey police instructions” or do not agree to leave the area. The fines will range between NIS 1,500-5,000.
