Israeli Arab Activist Arrested Over Facebook Post Praising Khamenei After Assassination

Majd Asadi, an Israeli Arab artist and activist, was arrested after posting on Facebook in apparent praise of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei following his assassination. Asadi described Khamenei as "an uncompromising historical figure" who "stood against imperial evil," while noting personal disagreements with him. He was released under restrictive conditions; the head of his town council threatened to expel him from the municipality.
