The Jerusalem faction announced the protest after the Jaffa military court on Thursday extended the detention of Nissan Rada, a student at the 'Reshit Hochma' yeshiva who was arrested for desertion - until Tuesday.
Rada was arrested, according to his relatives, on Wednesday, during a routine traffic police inspection in northern Israel. After it was discovered that he had deserted from the IDF, he was handed over to the military police.
