ISM Reports: The arrest of Nariman_Andrew in Jenin

1) The Arrest of Nariman
Thursday 12th February 2004
Jenin

I am in the family home of Nariman Mohammed Sadiq Hasses, a 21 year old
woman from Jenin's old city. The public room is filled with her female
relatives and friends. They sit in a circle wrapped in blankets, some
have
been weeping. The atmosphere is subdued expect for the smiles and
outreached hands of the three small children who wander in and out.
Yesterday at 3.30am this house was invaded by Israeli soldiers who
seized
and arrested Nariman. The people in the room are still absorbing the
shock
of this intrusion and the unexpected absence of a daughter, sister and
friend.
Nariman's mother describes what happened. Her anguish clear from her
voice
even before her words are translated. The household had been awoken
just
before 3.30 am yesterday by the sound of loud banging on their
neighbours
door. She had looked from her first floor window to see what was
happening
and had seen that there were soldiers attempting to break into the next
door
house. Seeing her looking from the window the soldiers then started to
attempt to breakdown the door to her own home, she responded by
shouting
"wait a minute, I will open it". The soldiers continued to beat at the
door.
Her daughter Nariman went downstairs to open it. As she did so soldiers
flooded the house, seizing Nariman and detaining her outside the house.
Her
mother describes how her son's children screamed and wept in terror as
soldiers searched the house shouting "Keep quiet, keep quiet" their
guns
directed at herself and her relatives.
The family, 4 children, 4 woman and 1 man were ordered outside and
forced to
stand in the rain as soldiers made their way through the home. Unlike
previous raids on house in Jenin there was no damage to the house and
no
property was taken. The soldiers then announced that they were
arresting
Nariman. Her mother recounts that she begged the soldiers for an
explanation
as to why her daughter was being arrested, they refused to say. She
begged
her daughter for an explanation but Nariman insisted that she had no
idea as
to why she was being taken away. Next she tried to persuade the
soldiers to
let her go with her daughter, they refused. Nariman's brother Aiman
asked to
accompany his sister and finally they relented, agreeing that he could
accompany his sister. The family was also allowed to give Nariman some
additional clothes and shoes after she had been out in the rain for
over an
hour. After this the force of around 40 soldiers drove of in their
armoured
jeeps.
The women in the room nod in encouragement and support as she speaks.
We are
joined by her son, Aiman who accompanied Nariman for the first few
hours of
her arrest. He takes up the story. They were first taken to the nearby
military base of Dotan before traveling to base and prison at Salem at
the
northern tip of the West Bank. Here she was shackled and had a hood
placed
over her head. Aiman looks angry and perhaps ashamed as he describes
his
inability to stop this humiliation of his sister. He tried to intervene
but
was held back by soldiers. Nariman was then taken away, the soldiers
informing Aiman that she was being transferred to Jalamah interrogation
centre near Haifa. Our translator interjects "that is a bad place".
Since then the family have heard no more. All they know is that she has
been
taken away for interrogation by the Israeli intelligence service, the
Shabak. They have no idea how long this process will take. They have no
idea
of what treatment she will receive. They have no idea what she is
accused
of. They have no idea when next they will be able to communicate with
her.
They have no idea when next they will see her again. Above of all they
have
no idea why she was taken in the first place. Her mother states that
her
daughter was not politically active though she was a social activist
working
with the Union of Psychology and Social Work Associations and
volunteering
with the Palestinian Ministry of Social Affairs. Nariman did not feel
at
threat of arrest, "would she have opened the door if she had a fear of
being
taken away?" her mother asks.
Just before I leave Nariman's mother says that she blames herself for
her
daughters arrest, "if only I had not looked out of the window, maybe
they
would have passed this house."
A local journalist tells me later that around 80 people have been
arrested
in the Jenin area in the past month. Amongst them ordinary men and
woman, TV
journalists, community activists, politicians as well as members of
armed
Palestinian resistance groups. For every arrest, a home is violated by
soldiers and a family left shocked and uncertain as to their relatives
fate.
The prisoners should not expect due process or a fair hearing. They may
be
interrogated within a system where "moderate physical pressure" is
legal,
torture commonplace and defendants have no right to see the evidence
that is
presented against them in the military tribunal that tries them. Each
one
faces the possibility of extended periods of imprisonment under the
Israeli
policy of administrative detention (imprisonment without charge).
No one in Nariman's family knows what will happen. They are aware of
Israeli's record when it comes to the treatment of prisoners. They can
only
hope that Nariman escapes the worst that her captors are capable of.
They
can only hope that she will be home soon.

Amnesty Internationals 2003 Report on Israel and the Occupied
Territories
states:
Mass arrests, detention and torture or ill-treatment of Palestinians

The IDF arrested thousands of Palestinians, including hundreds of
minors,
throughout the Occupied Territories. Most were released without charge
and
many without having been questioned. Ill-treatment was widespread
during
arrest and interrogation, and there were numerous reports of torture in
detention. Detainees reported various forms of torture and
ill-treatment,
including beatings, being handcuffed and tied in uncomfortable
positions for
prolonged periods, threats to the detainee and their relatives, and
sleep
deprivation. At least one detainee died in custody after he was beaten.

More than 1,900 of those arrested were held in administrative detention
for
up to one year. They were not charged with any offence and were held on
the
basis of "secret evidence", which neither they nor their lawyers were
allowed to see or to challenge in court. Around 1,000 other people who
were
arrested were charged with involvement in attacks against Israelis and
more
than 3,800 were tried by military courts in trials that fell short of
international fair trial standards.

Most Palestinian detainees were not allowed to receive visits from
their
relatives, even when, according to the International Committee of the
Red
Cross, the relatives fulfilled the necessary security requirements."

2) CKUT Radio: Budrus Palestine - Resisting the Apartheid Wall

Listen to an interview with S'ra - a social justice activist and
organic farmer in Burlington Vermont. S'ra is currently in Budrus
Palestine a rural village in the West Bank, which is currently fighting
for its existence against the Israeli military and the planned
construction path of the Apartheid Wall. The wall, deemed a "security
measure" by the Israeli state, is clearly an effort to steal more
Palestinian land.

The Palestinian Environmental NGO Network has estimated that upwards of
50
per cent of the West Bank land will be plundered by the completion of
the
wall, which is not being built on or near the 1967 Green Line and at
points reaches 16km deep into the heart of the West Bank. Budrus is a
community actively resisting the construction of the Apartheid Wall
with
weekly demonstrations being held, which represent a living face of
Palestine civil resistance to the brutal and illegal Israeli military
occupation.

3) Reflections from Palestine
February 11, 2004

Hello dear friends and family,

I hope you all received the email from me yesterday about the military
incursion into Budrus. Today was pretty quite in Budrus, the military
entered a couple of times, but no incidences occurred as far as I know.
You
should all rest assured that I am safe and well and falling in love
with the
beautiful people and landscape of Budrus.

I will be in Budrus until I leave Palestine on March 2. I hope to make
mini
trips to Qalqilia and Jenin from Budrus. We will have to see what the
situation is in Budrus, if construction of the wall starts or not. On
February 23 there will demonstrations against the wall in many major
cities
in Palestine. This is the day the International Court of Justice
commences
hearings about the wall. Tomorrow there is another demo planned for
Budrus
and also on February 21. Either Sunday or Monday we are planning a
demonstration at the Erez checkpoint in Gaza to bring attention to all
the
atrocities that are happening in Gaza.

We now have a computer in the international house in Budrus, but no
internet
connection. There is one family in the village that has dial-up, so I
hope
to be able to continue to send updates. We have had media outlets from
several parts of the world visit Budrus in the last few weeks. Budrus
is
becoming internationally known!! For its brave resistance.

Sending my love and solidarity
Hoping the wall will fall
S'ra



February 8, 2004 - Another Budrus Demonstration

Last Friday I took part in another protest against the wall in Budrus,
the
small village in the West Bank where I have been staying. The Israeli
government informed Budrus last Thursday that the construction of the
wall
will commence any day now. Each morning everyone in the village, both
Palestinians and internationals, wake up early to see if trees are
being cut
or the wall being constructed. It is psychological warfare, the
torture of
waiting for your community to be imprisoned. The village does not even
know
yet exactly where the wall will be built and if it will be concrete
wall or
fence (electric or not).

The last demonstration in Budrus of 200-300 Palestinians, Israelis, and
internationals was particularly amazing. In protests here, men and
women
march separately into the olive grove; men first, followed by the women
and
children. When the women arrived down to the grove the military and
the men
were already in a stand off. Three young women marched right in front
of
the soldiers, as the other women followed chanting passionately. The
soldiers seemed taken a back by their courage. The women stood between
the
men and the soldiers and refused to move back when the soldiers
insisted.
The soldiers were armed with tear gas, rubber bullets and live
ammunition.
They gave a five-minute warning and the women still would not leave the
olive grove or back away. The men of Budrus had to persuade the women
before
they were willing to ascend up the hill and back to the village. On
the
walk up a couple of young boys threw a few stones down the hill towards
the
soldiers (none actually came anywhere near the soldiers), which
resulted in
massive dispersal of tear gas from the Israeli soldiers. I saw many
women
and children on the ground coughing and gasping from the tear gas.

The demonstration was a success; the women made their voices loud and
clear,
"Do not take our land away." One particular woman, a 15-year old and
dear
friend of mine, impressed me immensely. She walked right up to the
soldiers
and lead beautiful call and response chants.

Unfortunately the days ahead will most likely only bring the same type
of
response from the Israeli soldiers. The village is committed to taking
non-violent direct action against the construction of the wall and
against
the uprooting of more of their trees. The community is braced for a
long
struggle; maybe they will be the first community to succeed in stopping
the
wall. In'shallah (hopefully).

February 8, 2004 -- The Wall in Abu Dis

On Saturday about 3000 people marched against the wall in Abu Dis, a
neighborhood in East Jerusalem. I had the pleasure of marching with my
friend from Aida Refugee Camp. He thought me some chants in Arabic.
Most
of my other writings have focused on the affects the wall will have on
farmers but the wall in Abu Dis will have the largest consequences on
healthcare and education services. The 25' wall is built right down
the
middle of the main street in Abu Dis, which now is cut off from other
parts
of Jerusalem. The wall is not completed there yet and places still
exist
where you can jump over it. However this will not last long.

After the wall is completed many students and teachers will not be able
to
reach their schools which lay on either side of the wall. Many
students who
attend Al-Quds, Bethlehem, Abu Dis or Birzeit Universities will have an
incredibly difficult time getting around the wall to attend their
classes.
Primary and secondary schools will also be greatly affected and will
not be
able to reach both the UN and the Palestinian Authority-managed
schools.
According to the United Nations, 190 students and 74 teachers will have
to
exit through the "security barrier" to get to their schools and 70
students
and 12 teachers will have to try to enter Jerusalem to go to school.
These
figures just represent the UN-run schools, not the PA or private
schools.
Many of the children that will be most affected are refugees. Ability
to
pass the wall is completely at the whim of the Israeli military.

Access to UN, PA and private clinics, hospitals, and doctors will be
impeded. Doctors, nurses, other staff and patients will have to pass
the
gate in the wall after receiving permission from the Israeli
government,
which often does not occur. People who have jobs on either sides of
the
wall may not be able to get to work. Of course these problems related
to
the wall mentioned above exist everywhere the wall is constructed.
Access
to healthcare, education and employment is a basic human right, which
are
being systematically stolen from the Palestinians from the illegal
Israeli
occupation and the Apartheid wall.

February 10, 2004 - A Little Reflection

When we were in Qalqilia, Hilary and I, visited a zoo with a
Palestinian
family on the first day of Eid, a Muslim holiday. I am morally opposed
to
zoos but I decided to go because the children of the family were so
excited.
I found the whole experience ironic and symbolic. Qalqilia, which has
been
turned into prison by the wall, houses a prison for animals. All the
animals in the zoo looked sick and emaciated. The entire zoo was
decaying
and decrypted. The children's play area had not been cleaned of trash
for
weeks if not months and the rides were mere skeletons. The whole place
was
depressing. Even though I view zoos as inhumane I found myself
overwhelmed
with sadness that the fun park for kids was in such a horrible
condition. I
thought this zoo was symbolic for the state of childhood in Palestine.
Children do not have many opportunities for fun and recreation.
Instead
they see their family members imprisoned and killed and their hills for
playing in destroyed for the construction of settlements and the wall.

February 11, 2004 -- Commentary on Current Events in Palestine and
Israel

I just wanted to make a few comments about current events in Palestine
and
Israel. Sharon announced last week that some Israeli settlements will
be
dismantled in Gaza Strip in the near future. This plan is a complete
farce
because Sharon plans to relocate these settlements to the West Bank
where
Israel is under a major campaign to confiscate land. Israel is
actively
trying to annex much of the West Bank from the Palestinians through the
continual construction of the wall, Israeli-only access roads, and
illegal
settlements (especially around Jerusalem and Bethlehem).

The Israeli government is trying to completely surround Jerusalem with
settlements and Israeli access roads. Every day it is becoming more
difficult for Palestinians that live within Jerusalem to leave and
Palestinians who live outside to enter. For either, Palestinians must
have
permission from the Israeli government. This permission may be for one
day,
a week or a few months. After the time is expired they must reapply, a
long
bureacratic process.

Sharon's government also announced that the path of the wall would be
scale
downed to cause less hindrance to the Palestinians and that the line
will
more closely follow the Green Line (the 1948 border between the West
Bank
and Israel). This again is a complete farce. One of the supposed
changes
to the wall will be the construction of an underground tunnel from the
city
of Qalqilia to the town of Habla. Even if there is an underground
road/tunnel, the fact remains that Qalqilia is a city that is
essentially a
prison, since it is completely surrounded by the wall, which is
controlled
by the Israeli military. This tunnel is what Sharon considers as
making
concessions to the Palestinians.

Already 200 of the 705 kilometers of the wall have been completed.
Each
kilometer of wall costs approximately 10.5 million shekels to build.
Many
people globally who follow the news may think that the wall is just a
line
of fence that is only separating the West Bank from Israel. This is
not the
case. The wall strays far from the Green Line and already surrounds
small
villages and whole cities, like Qalqilia. Budrus and eight other
villages
will be completely encircled by the wall with only one exit/entrance.
Many
of these areas that will be or already are completed surrounded
confiscate
huge swaths of land for the Israelis. If you look at the map, you will
notice that the Palestinian areas that are being completely isolated by
the
wall neighbor enclaves of existing settlements. The winding layers of
the
wall that sometimes have two of three separate fences will also allow
for
the construction of more settlements as more land is grabbed from the
Palestinians.
=================================

4) 'The peaceful way works best'
By Gideon Levy
 http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/393347.html

There's a remote little village in the West Bank that decided to behave
differently. A village whose residents decided not to lament and not to
blow
themselves up. They chose another way between violence and surrender.
The
residents of the village of Budrus, west of Ramallah and close to the
Green
Line, chose to wage a nonviolent struggle against the separation fence
that
is being built on its land. The whole village has pitched in - the
Hamas and
Fatah members, the old and the young, men and women, and for three
months
they have been going down by the hundreds to their olive groves every
week,
to demonstrate against the uprooting of their trees and the encircling
of
the residents.


The IDF and the Border Police have been faced with an unfamiliar
phenomenon: What are they supposed to do about hundreds of unarmed,
nonviolent residents slowly descending toward the bulldozers, with
women and
children leading the pack, and a handful of Israeli and international
volunteers sprinkled among them, approaching to within touching
distance of
the armed soldiers? Should they shoot to kill? Shoot to injure?

So far, the IDF has fired, but less - no one has been killed, and about
100
people have been injured, most of them lightly, in the course of about
25
demonstrations over a two-month period. Most of the injuries were from
batons and rubber bullets, like in the old days. Twelve villagers have
been
arrested, and nine of them are still in jail, for participating in
clearly
nonviolent demonstrations. This, too, is a violation of the IDF's
rules, as
one military judge noted when he refused to send one of the leaders of
this
pacifist revolt to administrative detention. The arrested man's
brother,
however, was sent straight to administrative detention by another
military
judge. But the most important point is that the construction work on
the
fence near the village has been stopped, for now.

Budrus against the occupation. Budrus against the separation fence,
which
will encircle the village on all sides and cut it off, like eight other
villages slated to be enclosed in fenced-in enclaves opposite
Ben-Gurion
Airport. The fence could have been built along the Green Line, several
hundred meters from the present route, but Israel had other ideas -
about
the vineyards, about the olives, about life. Today, or tomorrow, the
quarrying and paving work will resume, and so will the protest
demonstrations.

Will this remote village become a milestone in the struggle over the
fence?
Will the residents of Budrus herald a change to nonviolence in the
Palestinian struggle against the occupation? Or, in a week or two, will
the
separation fence cut off life in this village, too, and show that
nonviolence doesn't pay, with the scene in Budrus soon becoming a
forgotten
episode?

Cacti wherever you look. Old stone houses standing alongside half-built
ones
that will never be completed. Things look promising as you enter the
village, but the further inside you go, the more the reality hits you.
After
the last house, from within the olive groves, is the sight that is
frightening the residents: the rising orange of the bulldozers,
blotches of
color in the wadi cutting into the rock, digging up and scarring, and
after
them the steamrollers and the heavy trucks. Olive trees whose tops have
been
cut off stand in mute testimony to the work of the bulldozers so far.

This is where the fence will pass. Through these olive groves. One
fence to
the west of them and another to the east of them, leaving them stuck,
imprisoned in the middle. Why? Because.

"If the fence were on the mountain, it would give more security,"
ventures
Iyad Ahmed Murar, a leader of the protest in Budrus, whose two brothers
are
in administrative detention. "But they want a fence in the wadi. Common
sense says that if you want a security fence, put it on the mountain
and not
in the wadi. But they want to destroy the land and the olives. What
difference would it make if they moved 200 meters toward the Green
Line?"

Before 1948, Budrus had approximately 25,000 dunams. Of that, 20,000
went to
Israel and the village was left with about 5,000. Now, according to
Murar's
calculations, about another 1,000 dunams will be stolen. The
construction
work near the groves has stopped for now, but is continuing not far
away,
toward the neighboring village of Qibiya. But it's not just the fate of
the
land that is worrying the village, which hasn't had a resident killed
since
1993. What's more worrisome is how the fence will effectively choke off
the
village.

Murar: "The fence will be around nine villages. Ramallah is our mother
and
only one gate will lead to it. And what if the soldier is on a coffee
break?
Or off smoking a cigarette? Maybe he'll lock the gate so he can go to
the
bathroom. Maybe there will be a problem in Tel Aviv and they'll close
the
gate. And then you won't be able to get to the university, to the
hospital
or to work, and in the end, people will start to live where they work.
If
someone gives me a job, and I come one day and not the next, in the end
he'll tell me to stay there where the job is or be fired. People will
start
thinking about having to stay where their job is. And the student and
the
sick person will start thinking the same way."

This is what the village is the most afraid of - a "willing" transfer;
of
life being made so difficult that they'll be compelled to move east. A
1,000-year-old village. That's why the fence is here. In Budrus,
they're
convinced that Prime Minister Sharon is continuing what Captain Sharon
began: In Qibiya, he tried it with dynamite, now he's trying it with a
fence. The objective is the same: to move them away from the Green
Line,
especially in the vicinity of Ben-Gurion airport. What can they do?
"Demonstrate in a peaceful manner," says Murar the rebel.

It all began on November 9, when construction work first started here.
Since
then, they've been demonstrating and demonstrating, always in a
peaceful
manner. Sometimes once a week, sometimes every day; sometimes the
entire
village; sometimes only the women and children. They walk down through
the
groves toward the route of the fence and get as close as possible to
the
soldiers and Border Police officers. Murar likes to describe the little
rebellion, stage after stage, almost hour after hour. How they once
stood
there for a whole day, how they brought lunch and ate in front of the
soldiers, how they were beaten with batons and rifle butts.

He records every detail: During one demonstration in December, he
counted 15
humvees, six Border Police jjeeps, two blue police jeeps and another
two
military jeeps inside the village, 25 jeeps altogether. At another
demonstration, the officer declared the area a closed military zone.

Murar: "They had a letter in Hebrew - maybe about this area, maybe
about the
whole village, maybe about the whole world, declaring a closed military
zone. They said they'd impose a curfew if we did anything." He also
talks
about how they managed to go out to the land despite the curfew and to
demonstrate in front of the bulldozers.



We decide to go down now toward the route that has already been paved.
Murar
remains behind. "If there are too many of us, they'll think it's a
demonstration." The last demonstration was last Friday; tear gas
canisters
are still scattered about. The residents know the work is going to
resume
soon. Maybe today, maybe tomorrow. Here are the red markings on the
ground.
They have scouts on the balconies of the outer houses of the village,
who
will report if they see something. The treadmarks left by the
bulldozers are
still visible in the mud. From here, the route is supposed to ascend
toward
the olive groves, another four kilometers. The first trees have already
been
uprooted. Yesterday was Tu Bishvat (Jewish arbor day).

A group of volunteers from the International Solidarity Movement, along
with
two young Israelis, accompany us through the olive groves, but they do
not
go down toward the fence route. They are staying in the village now,
preparing for what is to come. Today they're here, tomorrow they'll be
in
the next village that the fence is approaching. Young dreamers and
fighters
who pay 20 shekels a night to stay in a rented apartment in the
village.
Yonatan Pollak of Anarchists Against the Fence, a 21-year-old with blue
eyes, dimples, acne scars, a worldview and a past: Europe is already
closed
to him because of anti-globalization demonstrations he participated in
there. He pulls a black sleeve over the tattoos on his arm. He won't
buy an
Israeli soda in the village grocery store. While his contemporaries are
standing at checkpoints and deciding which woman in labor to let pass
and
which not, he is here, with the Budrus residents, in their struggle.

We return to the village. The Amhassein family's two-story house: the
family
on the first floor, the chickens on the second. The mother, Suriya,
just
returned from Mecca and the house has been decorated in her honor. The
children play loudly at recess at the school at the edge of the
village. The
fence will pass right behind the border of the school and the border of
the
nearby cemetery. Mighty Israel is spread out all around: Modi'in,
Ramle,
Shoham, Rosh Ha'ayin - and on a clear day, you can even make out the
Shalom
Tower in Tel Aviv. And on the other side, to the east, Kiryat Sefer,
Nili,
Na'aleh. "Tell me, could the fence go into the cemetery?," Murar asks.

A meeting at his home: About 20 women sit in the yard of the attractive
house on the edge of the green valley and plan the exhibition they want
to
stage here on the 23rd of the month, the first day of hearings on the
fence
in the International Court in The Hague. Half the women came from
Salfit and
half are from the village. They sit in the shade of the banana tree in
Murar's yard and talk about the exhibit of olivewood products they will
present in a tent in the center of the village. Maybe people from all
over
the world will come to see. A Swedish member of parliament was already
arrested here by the IDF. Murar says that the exhibition will include a
dove
carved out of olivewood. They're also planning a demonstration of
children
soon.

Murar: "We've learned lessons - where we did good and where we did bad.
They
[the Israelis] have also learned lessons. Maybe they'll strengthen the
curfew more when they're working. But our plan is to defend our land
and our
trees in a peaceful manner. Sometimes among our people there are a lot
of
ideas about what to do against the occupation. We here have chosen a
different strategy. Our strategy in this small village is that we're
turning
things over. In the north, from Jenin until Budrus, there were Israeli
and
international demonstrators, supported by Palestinians. But here, we
think
that it's our problem and that we have to defend our land and do
something,
and the Israelis and international protesters are only supporting us.
First
the Palestinians, and then the internationals. We are very grateful for
Israeli and international support, but the Palestinians have to make a
stand. We're adopting a special strategy, a peaceful strategy. The
Hamas
here, too. In the beginning, they walked with their green flags in the
demonstrations. After the first three demonstrations, we only carry the
flag
of Palestine. Everyone together. In a totally peaceful way. We also all
agreed on one thing: We are not against the Israelis and not against
the
Jews and not against the soldiers. We are only against the occupation.
We
are against the bulldozers. And we in Budrus believe that killing is
easier
than crying. But just crying over the land isn't enough. A peaceful
demonstration is stronger than killing. If you stand before the Israeli
soldier, right beside him, you'll be stronger.

If someone asks: Why peaceful? I tell him: I've tried all the ways and
the
peaceful way works best. The worst thing is to kill the innocent.
That's the
worst thing in the world. They kill day and night and say that we are
terrorists. But we need all the world to be on our side. I'm against
killing
people. All people, Jews and Arabs. I'm not afraid or ashamed to say
that.
That's why I'm demonstrating peacefully against the fence."
