Police are considering filing assault charges against a social activist who reported she was beaten by a fellow protester at an LGBTQ Pride rally in Tel Aviv last summer.
Police suspect that she engaged in an altercation herself.
The activist, Sapir Slutzker-Amran, a lawyer, was treated at a hospital after the attack. She reported the incident to the police two days later, giving them the name of her alleged attacker and a list of eyewitnesses. The suspect was only called in for questioning two months later, after which he filed a complaint against Slutzker-Amran. Now the police have told her that there is sufficient evidence to charge her with “participation in a brawl.”
