British activist to be deported over assault of Judea minor

Police referred a foreign national detained near the Judean community of Carmel over the weekend to the Population and Immigration Authority for a hearing ahead of his expected deportation.

The man, identified by local media as British anarchist Finn Joughin, 22, was nabbed by Israeli civilians on Saturday after he breached public order outside the Hebron-area community. A complaint was filed against him on suspicion of assaulting a minor and additional offenses.

The incident occurred as three Jewish children, ages 10 to 12, were hiking near Carmel. Palestinians and anti-Israel activists blocked the children’s path, and one of the activists sexually harassed them.
