If I hadn't been in such a general funk, and therefore blog funk, I would have posted about this much sooner.
Prof. Ghazi Falah was arrested and detained without charge or access to his lawyer and family 18 days ago, for supposedly spying for Hezbollah and Iran.
Haaretz was finally able to get the gag order lifted today.
Ghazi is a '48 Palestinian, which means he is a citizen of Israel. He is also a Canadian national. His research has always included lots of pictures, and not-coincidentally he is once of Israel's biggest opponents within the academy.
The charges sound absolutely ridiculous, but needless to say, those close to Ghazi are very pessimistic about the prospect of a fair trial in a legal system that has already allowed his inprisonment without charge or visits.
