CPTer faces deportation after public witness
by Christian Peacemaker TeamsPrint Article Email to a Friend
AT-TUWANI, West Bank—The Israeli authorities detained Kristin Anderson, a U.S. citizen working with Christian Peacemaker Teams (CPT) in the South Hebron Hills, on Aug. 4 during a nonviolent action in At-Tuwani. Israeli soldiers took her to the Kiryat Arba police station. The Israeli authorities may move her to the Russian Compound in Jerusalem for a trial and possible deportation.
The public witness was a response to four attacks Israeli settlers perpetrated against Palestinian children in the previous week as they walked to or from summer camp in At-Tuwani. About 300 Palestinian adults and children as well as Israelis and internationals marched from At-Tuwani to Tuba to protest the continuing violence and the expansion of the settlement outpost Havat Ma’on.—CPT
