American activist in Palestine under arrest
American activist in Palestine under arrest, facing deportation
Earlier today (Nov. 13th), during a peaceful demonstration against Israel's Apartheid Barrier in Tulkarem, American ISM activist Bruce Groenveld was arrested while attempting to protect a fellow activist from arrest. Despite the nonviolent character of the event, the Israeli soldiers responded with considerable violence, callously beating protesters, many of whom were elders.
Police have
fabricated the allegation that Bruce threw stones at, and
attacked, an Israeli Police Officer, and he is being held at
the Ariel police station. They will call for the revocation
of his Visa, and subsequent deportation tomorrow at a
hearing with the Ministry of the Interior. We urge you to
call both the police station and the Ministry of the
Interior to challenge his deportation, and call for his
release.
