Activists Lockdown Against House Destruction in Nablus
On August 13th, 2002, activists from the International Solidarity Movement (ISM) in Nablus locked themselves down to the Atiti family house, which has been threatened to be bombed by Israeli army. The situation in Nablus is worsening, with increasing food shortages, and leaving ill and disabled persons stuck in their homes.
A group of activists from the ISM have worked in Nablus since August 2. On Wednesday, August 7, they were assaulted by Israeli army forces with tear gas, stun grenades, and gunshots in the air. The activists had gone with Palestinians civilians to the Nablus checkpoint to ask the army to let vans carrying food and medicines into the city.
Following the protests nine activists (from France, Ireland and US) were arrested, and later transferred to Ramle prison for deportation.
