Ni'lin under curfew: international support needed
July 6, 2008
Most of you know about the situation in Ni’lin - the village has been under curfew since last Friday. the Israeli army has imposed this curfew as a collective punishment against the people of Ni’lin to curtail the nonviolent demonstrations against the illegal construction of the Wall on Ni’lin’s land.
The situation now is grave: nobody can leave their houses, nobody is allowed in or out the village, the people are running out of food and the local clinic is running out of much needed medical supplies that they need to treat the victims of the Israeli violence that has occured over the last couple of days. A young child was shot in the throat with a rubbercoated bullet and is unable to receive proper medical treatment.
Open letter: The separation barrier in Bil’in
June 13, 2008
In a high-profile ruling of 4th September 2007, the Israeli Supreme Court concluded that the already built Separation Barrier in the West Bank village of Bil’in is illegal. The Court noted that the existing route was designed to accommodate plans for the future expansion of the settlement of Modi’in Illit and for the construction of a new 3,000 housing-units neighborhood therein, despite the fact that some of these plans require further approval before they can be realized. The judges ordered the State to redraw the barrier, so that the new route shall not take into account planning schemes not yet finally approved. In the ruling, the Court emphasized that “in light of the continuous harm to the residents of Bil’in… the respondents should consider, within reasonable time, an alternative route”. (underline added)
