Biography

Israel Prager was arrested as a speaker when Boston police broke up a 1930 Sacco–Vanzetti memorial demonstration.

The Boston report individually names him among three speakers arrested when police dispersed the Sacco–Vanzetti memorial at Boston Common after refusal of a permit. It gives no charge, court outcome, individual physical discharge or completed custody duration. The Boston arrest is separate from later Lawrence and Paterson prosecutions.
