Israel orders expulsion of US peace activist
The Israeli interior ministry ordered a US peace activist be expelled following her arrest the day before near the West Bank town of Bethlehem. This American, Christiane Lonron is going to be expelled from Israel within a few hours. This measure was taken because she was in a sector that had been declared a closed military zone and where she had no business. She is also accused of interfering with Israeli army operations.
"Get the hell out. Go be a human shield someplace else." |
An Australian peace activist arrested by the army at the same time as Lonron had been released.
