OVER 45 HUMAN RIGHTS ACTIVISTS DETAINED TODAY

indymedia - isreal | 05.08.2003 09:34 | Globalisation | World

At approximately 7am this morning, Palestinian, Israeli, and international human rights activists were detained while attempting to block the demolition of part of a Palestinian family’s home, near the village of Mas'ha. The building that had been slated for demolition by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) - because it lay in the path of Israel’s controversial Separation Wall – is now being destroyed.

FROM PALESTINE, ISRAEL, U.S., U.K., ITALY, SWEDEN, FRANCE, DENMARK, IRELAND,
GERMANY
AND CANADA

AT LEAST FIVE ARRESTED TO DATE
(The latest information I have is that almost everyone is detained, not yet arrested. As far as I know there are three people arrested, and supposedly accused at assaulting a police officer or a soldier, I am not clear on that yet. The three people are Nazeeh Shalabee (Palestinian) Ariel Tajar (Israeli) and an Italian activist named lorenza who's surname I don't know right now. It also seems as if the police will try and single out some people as organizers.)
