Arab Who Attempted to Lynch Jew during May 2021 Riots Sentenced to 10 Years in Prison
(Ha'aretz) Adi Hashmonai - The district court in Haifa on Monday sentenced Adham Bashir, 25, to ten years in prison for severely assaulting a Jewish man due to nationalist motives during nationwide riots in May 2021. According to the indictment, on the night of May 12, Bashir joined dozens of young Arabs who gathered at an intersection in the city of Acre armed with iron bars, clubs and stones. When they identified a vehicle with a Jewish driver, Mor Janashvili, they pelted it with dozens of stones. The driver lost control of the vehicle and crashed into a wall. When he exited the vehicle and attempted to flee on foot, he was beaten to the ground and his vehicle was torched. Eight residents of Acre were charged for involvement in the attempted lynching.
