Although Bar Am felt that he had broken no law, especially as he had been at the protest for less than five minutes, the threat of plastic or rubber bullets resulted in very real fear. The four students were released after spending a night in jail and with misdemeanor charges filed against them...

To receive a picture, you press the button above the tiny frame. Since it's square, your shots are automatically cropped, which...
