Balad expects Supreme Court to overturn disqualification of its leader

The Israeli party Balad is expecting the Supreme Court to overturn the disqualification of its leader, Sami Abu Shehadeh. According to Arutz Sheva - Israel National News, a senior Balad official stated that an article written by Abu Shehadeh, which was interpreted as expressing support for a recent attack, was analytical in nature and did not constitute an expression of his position.

In a separate case, the wife of former South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol, Kim Keon Hee, has appealed an appellate ruling sentencing her to five years in prison on bribery-related charges, taking the case to the Supreme Court, as reported by The Korea Times. Kim was convicted of accepting bribes for mediation and plans to contest the Seoul High Court's ruling.

The Supreme Court has also made a ruling regarding arrest procedures, as reported by The Indian Express. The court has strengthened constitutional safeguards governing arrest, stating that an accused person released due to a violation of their fundamental right to be informed of the grounds of arrest is not released on bail, but from an "illegal and unconstitutional detention". The court has laid down a procedure requiring judicial approval before investigating agencies can arrest a person again.
