Palestinian journalist and political activist Abed Abu Shehadeh has been released after five days in Israeli police custody. He was freed from Petah Tikva police station.
In an interview with the news outlet Arab48 after his release, Abu Shehadeh called his arrest “politically motivated” and vowed to continue his work.
“We must not be afraid. We are on the right path. We are fighting for equality and justice for all,” he said.
He thanked his international supporters, his legal team and the legal aid organisation Adalah for their part in securing his release.
Israeli police and members of the Shin Bet, the country’s internal security agency, raided Abu Shehadeh’s home in Jaffa last Wednesday. He was arrested on suspicion of “contact with a foreign agent”.
