Palestinian singer, composer and pianist Faraj Suleiman was summoned yesterday by the Israeli police in Acre without stating the reason behind the call.
The musician's friend Majd Kayyal, a Palestinian writer, has slammed the news jokingly in a Facebook post saying: “A police investigator called Faraj Suleiman and summoned him for an investigation at Acre police station.” He continued: “As usual they didn’t say what is it about. I’ve known Faraj for over 10 years and I spoke with him 4 times.. Good luck to the detective.”
Daraj media stated that it has contacted Faraj Suleiman and he revealed till this moment he has no idea why the Israeli police called him.
Several satirical comments have been made on the writer's post. Some comments were mainly taken from the Musician’s songs.
يذكر أن الأمن الإسرائيلي كان اعتقل كيّال الذي شارك في كتابة ألبوم فرج سليمان الأخير "أحلى من برلين". لم يعرف سبب الاعتقال لكن كيال كان اعتقل بعد أيّام قليلة من صدور الألبوم، ولم يعرف السبب حتى بعد الإفراج عنه.
