    Police Officer Delayed Strip Search Report

    A police officer in Israel conducted a strip search on a protester and only reported it after being contacted by Haaretz, roughly 36 hours later. The officer justified the search by claiming the protester did not make eye contact. The police later reopened the investigation and settled 13 similar cases for over 600,000 shekels without admitting wrongdoing. The protester is now suing the police.
