Israel extends detention of Palestinian cleric over al-Aqsa Mosque protests

‘The Israeli regime has extended for several more days the detention of Sheikh Raed Salah, a cleric caught up in the developments ensuing from a crackdown on the al-Aqsa Mosque protests.
Salah’s lawyer said Monday that Israeli prosecutors had demanded a regime court to renew the cleric’s remand until Thursday as charges were being prepared against him.
The 58-year-old cleric who is residing in the pre-1967 Israeli-occupied territories, was arrested on August 15 over allegations of supporting terrorism. He was an active advocate of Palestinians who sought the removal of Israel’s controversial security measures at the gates of the Haram al-Sharif compound, which is home to the revered al-Aqsa Mosque.’
