Court criticises police after wrongful arrest of Haifa psychologist

A Haifa magistrate court ordered the immediate release of a woman arrested based on a video, criticising police for holding her overnight despite clearing her during questioning by 6:30pm. The court found the arrested woman was not the person depicted in the footage, but rather a family member who had never been questioned. Multiple sources report the judge expressed sharp criticism of police conduct.
