Around 70 protesters gathered at the centre of Tel Aviv near Dizengoff shopping centre to protest the incarceration of asylum seekers in Holot prison in the south, and in particular the harsh conditions imposed in them. Asylum seekers were forced to face the current winter storm without heating or even electric kettles and were provided with only thin blankets that do not protect them from the freezing cold. The protesters also blocked the road intermittently to attract the attention of passing drivers to the plight of asylum seekers.
