Police released journalist Abdul Qader Abu Shahada on Sunday afternoon after arresting him on Tuesday night. His arrest followed a raid on his home in Jaffa and detention at a police station in Petah Tikva. Upon his release, Abu Shahada stated, "Regardless of what we go through, we must not be afraid." The decision to release him led to the cancellation of a planned protest outside the Tel Aviv Magistrate's Court. The demonstration, scheduled for Sunday, was organized by the Higher Follow-up Committee for Arab Citizens in Israel, human rights organizations, and activists. They intended to demand his release and protest the targeting of journalists and restrictions on freedom of expression. Abu Shahada received a warm welcome from family, friends, and supporters after his release.
