A large public "Sheva Brachot" celebration, a traditional Jewish wedding feast, is scheduled for Monday afternoon outside the gates of Prison 10. The event is a protest against the arrest of Yaari Lieberman, a yeshiva student and newlywed, who was detained during his own wedding week.
Simultaneously, the rabbinical court of the Edah HaChareidit has decided to launch a broad public campaign against the arrest. The planned celebration outside the prison is intended to combine the festive occasion with the protest against Lieberman's incarceration. Specific details regarding the timing and nature of the protest have not yet been released.
Lieberman was arrested earlier today while traveling with his bride to a "Sheva Brachot" event held in their honor. Reports indicate that military police officers, operating in civilian attire without identification, apprehended him as he disembarked from a bus. His bride, unaware of the arresting officers' identities, feared he had been kidnapped and contacted the police for assistance.
The IDF confirmed the arrest. Subsequently, it was reported that a military court sentenced Lieberman to 20 days in prison. The arrest has prompted calls for his release from various Haredi political representatives. Signatories to the petition include Coalition Chairman MK Ofir Katz, Minister Shlomo Karai, and other MKs from right-wing parties. Chairman of Agudat Yisrael MK Rabbi Yitzchak Goldknopf and MK Meir Porush also called for the groom to be returned to his family and celebration.
