Statement by British International, on the 25th April 2002, Geek and Turkish Prime Ministers hold meeting s with Arafat inside PA Compound.

Statement 25/04/02

There are chinese whispers, that the siege, surrounding the Palestinian Authority compound could be lifted within the next two days.
The IDF have been destroying all vehicles parked outside the compound, with a high powered bull dozer, then piling them up into a huge barracade across the front entrance where the last arrival of internationals gained entry.
The IDF have also smashed the tarmac road surface and everything else within reach of the compound.
Yesterday an Israeli girl, from the International Solidarity group attempted to enter the compound.
Unfortunatly nobody inside the compound, was aware of her intentions, she was captured by the IDF soldiers who beat her violently.
Of the ten internationals who left the compound last week, eight have arived safely home to France and one to Brazil, the last International is presumed to have arrived at his destination.
All ten were kept in custody whilst awaiting deportation. They were kept in shackels for the entire duration of their journeys home and were housed in the criminal holds of the planes.
One of the ten was badly beaten in captivity whilst awaiting deportation.

The Turkish and Greek prime ministers have had meetings today, inside the compound with Arafat.
Supplies have bee promised. Although this is often said and the supplies hardly ever arrive. Here's hoping they get some food and medicine soon.
More tomorrow.
