The court decided today (Thursday) to extend the detention of the head of the Lakia Council, Ahmed Alasad, by three days.
This is on suspicion of threats and invasion of privacy against his partner, as well as regarding polygamy.
The police representative at the hearing asked the court to extend the suspect's detention until the end of the investigation, all this on the suspicion of disruption by Alasad of the investigation while endangering his partner since he is suspected of chasing her in his car and threatening her.
Alasad's defense attorney, Adv. Avi Himi, said at the hearing that the suspicions in the arrest request about the risk are unfounded, "How far did he drive after her, did he collide with the car, did he try to get her off the road," he wondered. Also, Himi claimed, "She was driving At 190 km/h, if anyone was in danger it was her, not him."
Heimi also emphasized that this is the first time, a one-off and non-continuous incident of a threat, and only a few weeks ago the couple was on a trip to Dubai, and that there is no physical violence here, as they initially believed, and that the suspect is not suspected of any violent incident.
According to him, this is a dangerous trend because the police want to show control and that great media pressure is exerted and that the suspect appears before the court only because he is a Bedouin and demanded to be released as an alternative to arrest.
The head of the Lakia Council in Dion, today,
Earlier this week, the Magistrate's Court in Be'er Sheva decided to release Alasad, who is suspected of assaulting his partner, to eight days of house arrest.
"The police overdid it"
Mustafa Nasser, the lawyer representing the head of the Lakia Council, referred to the suspicions at the end of the hearing: "We are talking about a suspect who was arrested on suspicion of threats and obstructing an investigation. This is a suspicion that in my opinion is extremely basic and even weak. A court decided to release him to house arrest for several days. We are talking about someone valued No criminal record, normative, a lawyer. In my opinion, the police exaggerated with him when they submitted a request for his arrest."
According to him, "If these were ordinary people and not strangers, the police would not have submitted a request. He did not attack and also denies the threats - I would recommend the police to invest their efforts in another job. It is just prosecuting him for no reason and it is a shame that they are doing it this way."
