Ilan Mans was attacked last week after attempting to remove a sign reading 'Release Yigal Amir' at the Hemed Bridge, and since Thursday has been hospitalized with a brain hemorrhage. He is being treated at Hadassah Ein Kerem, and according to him, the police did not arrive at the scene.

Ilan Mans, a protest activist, was attacked last week after attempting to remove a sign reading 'Release Yigal Amir' at the Hemed Bridge near Jerusalem. Following the attack, he was hospitalized last Thursday in the neurology department at Hadassah Ein Kerem hospital, after being diagnosed with a brain hemorrhage. This was reported by the 'Otef Ha'atzurim' organization, which provides support and legal counsel to protest activists. According to them, while at home after being injured, Mans noticed that the fingers on his left hand stopped functioning, and on Saturday the symptoms returned more severely, and his family members took him to the hospital. After a head CT scan, a brain hemorrhage was diagnosed, which according to the hospital was caused by the blows. He is expected to remain hospitalized for at least 48 hours. Mans claims that the police did not arrive at the scene after the attack. Yigal Amir is the assassin of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, and any call for his release sparks sharp public controversy in Israel.
