[Jerusalem] Yesterday at 12:45pm, Kristin (Flo) Razowsky, an
American citizen, was arrested during a nonviolent direct action
which took place in the village of Deir Qaddis near Budrus, west of
Ramallah. International and Israeli activists joined the people of
Deir Qaddis in their attempt to stop the work of the Israeli Army
bulldozers in their village which will be totally surrounded by the
Apartheid Wall along with 8 other villages.

Flo was detained by Israeli border police and taken to the Givat
Zeev police station where she was interrogated and formally arrested
around 6pm. She has been charged with staying in the country
illegally and is facing deportation.

At 9:30pm last night, Flo was transferred to the Russian Compound in
Jerusalem where she was interrogated again and held overnight. At
9am this morning, she was transferred to the Talpiot Immigration
Police Station in Jerusalem. She is currently being transferred to
the women's holding center in Hadera. She will try any nonviolent
measure to resist her deportation, and is counting on your support.
