40+ arrested protesting Israel's Apartheid Wall

Early this morning the IDF illegally arrested 47 Internationals as well as Palestinians that were gathered at the Mas'ha peace camp trying to peaceably block the building of the Apartheid Wall. One of the Internationals has cracked ribs. Israeli peace activists went to the site and 8 of them have now been detained. Near the camp, the house of one family will be trapped between the wall, if built, and the fence surrounding the neighboring settlement. The international detainees are being threatened with deportation, and three arrestees (including one Palestinian) have been formally charged with "violent assault." All detainees are being held at Ariel police station. Please call the numbers below to demand their immediate release.
