On Wednesday 18th April, the three day trial of the Arab Knesset member will commence in an Israeli court in Tel Aviv, under the pretext that he prevented the arrest of one of the youth in a Bil'in demonstration, West of Ramallah, in 2005 and that he assaulted an Israeli soldier during a demonstration against the War on Lebanon in 2006, as alleged by the prosecution in Israel.

Barakeh told the Voice of Palestine radio that the prosecution will present more than 28 members from the Israeli army and police to give their testimonies against Barakeh.
