Photograph taken 20th December showing Sofia, a US national being arrested by an Israeli police officer as she dismantles an Isreali roadblock at Hares near the West Bank city of Nablus. One pulls her hair while another twists her arm. Sofia was released after being detained for 5 hours.

CORRECTION!

Note, the statement in my original posting that the Israeli police officer was twisting sofia's arm is an inference from the photograph.

On closer examination, I believe this may be wrong and can only say for sure that eye witnesses say that Sofia's hair was pulled by the Israeli police officer. Apologies.
