ynetnews.com - 10.21.12 - Zvia Shapira reportedly told her son that she was outside the police station, with the other detainees' friends and families, and that they were holding a support rally.

She then recounted his story for the others: "Yonatan said that they were tasered in their legs and arms… It's horrible, but he sounds calm."

Earlier in the day, Shapira's mother said she was proud of him, saying he was "a true Israeli patriot."

 "I wish more Israelis would do what he does. He follows his heart and his values… he doesn’t hate Israel. He's not a traitor. He's a bigger patriot than anyone else and he's much braver than a lot of people.

"He knows that the Israeli government is doing something unthinkable with this blockade and that we won't be able to end the conflict like that."

The police asked the court to hold a closed-door arraignment, citing national security, but Judge Orit Hadad denied the request.

 The three, who are suspected of sedition, aiding and abetting the enemy and violating a military directive, were defined by Hadad as "peace activists" – and promptly remanded to police custody.

 The three's attorney said that they "did not act violently so these accusations are baseless and overstated. This was a legitimate act of protest and the State is trying to shut them up."
