Ibrahim Algrabi, an activist arrested in connection with an alleged election bribery scheme involving the Ra'am party, has described his arrest and accused the police of misconduct. Speaking to Channel 13, Algrabi claimed his detention was politically motivated and expressed shock at the early morning raid on his home. "At 5 AM they knocked on my door, I'm not used to it. I asked for a search warrant and they didn't have one. They started damaging the house. I didn't know anything until the station," Algrabi recounted. He stated he was held for nine days and interrogated three times, though he described one interrogation as not being a "real investigation." Algrabi was eventually released without restrictive conditions, as were the other six individuals arrested in the case. The investigation began on election day when police detained Ra'am-affiliated activists on suspicion of attempting to influence voters through payments. During searches, cash envelopes, campaign materials, and party ballots were seized.
