The Police Investigations Department (PID) has closed the case against an officer who allegedly interfered with a volunteer doctor attempting to revive a protester who had lost consciousness. The incident occurred during a demonstration against the war in Iran in April, in a shelter beneath Habima Square in Tel Aviv. The doctor who filed the complaint against the officer, Dr. Udi Baharav, was himself summoned for questioning this past Tuesday on suspicion of assaulting a police officer. Baharav claims this is an attempt to obstruct the investigation, as he is considering appealing the PID's decision to close the case against the officer.
