Former Bay Area resident and others detained by IDF

by Mahtin
A former Bay Area resident named Trevor is one of several people who have been detained (pending deportation) by the Israeli Defense Forces. They are on a hunger strike.
Here is a link to a bit of information one of the American men who are on a hunger strike while being detained by the Israeli Defense Forces:

Trevor went to Bethlehem as a member of the International Solidarity Movement, and, along with several other detainess, has been on a hunger strike during his detention by the Israeli "Defense" (Occupation) Forces.

This hunger strike is the prisoners' way of trying to bring attention to the struggle of the Palestinians against the Israeli occupation, as well as to shine a light on their illegal detention.

I was friends with him when he lived here in the Bay Area 1-2 years ago. Please help publicize his case and his treatment by the Israeli government. They should release him immediately. However, please bear in mind that his goal is to help publicize the plight of the Palestinian people. Check out the Palestine Indymedia site: http://jerusalem.indymedia.org

I'm very sorry that I don't know exactly who to contact for up-to-the-minute info. I'd recommend the Israeli consulate here, or US Consulate closest to Hebron. Perhaps if we harass them for information (or call to demand his release), we'll be able to get them to let him go.
