Shooting of Palestinian 16 year old Jena Kissawi in Sheikh Jarrah
July 10, 2021, Eran Vered: " The court issued a gag order, prohibiting us from telling the serious deeds of scum of mankind, policeman Abed Naarani ... in the service of the No 1 crime organization in Israel. We are (still) permitted to share this video and write that it documents filthy Abed Naarani, while he is perpetrating much less serious deeds than the incident that we are prohibited from speaking of".
The video records policeman Abed Naarani assaulting journalist Or-ly Barlev, while she was reporting from the scene serious police violence against anti-government Jewish protesters near prime minister Netanyahu's official residence in Jerusalem. Click Here

One of these activists, Eran Vered, was arrested on June 29, 2021, in what appeared to be a high stakes police operation. Vered was ambushed and detained by plain-clothed police, while leaving the Tel Aviv train station, apparently he was positioned through his cell phone. [i] The cause of the detention was three (3) Facebook posts, where he spelled out names, which were under gag orders: The name of the policeman who shot in the back and seriously wounded 16 year old Palestinian Jena Kissawi in Sheikh Jarrah in May 2021, [ii] the name of the policeman who shot to death Ethiopian-Jewish black teen Solomon Teka in June 2019 , [iii] and the name of the IDF 8200 unit intelligence officer who died in military prison in May 2021.

Attached to the post is a copy of the court protocol of the hearing, where police counsel argues: "The suspect is not cooperating. Had he cooperated and provided us with his codes, we could proceed. He is trying to undermine us and shows contempt for judicial decisions". Vered's counsel argues: "We do not agree to provide the codes". Click Here

Over the months long protests, several policemen were notable for their brutality and gained widespread publicity. Policeman Abed Naarani was one of them.

Testimonies have accumulated against Abed Naarani, which describe elbows to the face, unnecessary fondling and surprise fist punches" .
