An Israeli court refused the conditional release of Sheikh Raed Salah, head of the Northern Branch of the Islamic Movement in Israel.
According to the lawyer Khaled Zabarqah, Haifa District Court refused to release Sheikh Salah after Israeli Public Prosecution appealed against his conditional release.
