IDF forces on Tuesday raided the Ramallah offices of the a group
ostensibly dedicated to opposing the construction of the Israel´s
separation fence in Judea and Samaria.
According to the Bethlehem Maan News Agency, ten IDF jeeps raided the
Stop the Wall campaign office.
Soldiers seized two laptops, three hard drives and ten memory cards
containing files and photos, and archive material.
Stop the Wall coordinator Jamal Juma said, "This raid on the Stop the
Wall offices is a clear message that the Israeli authorities are
fearing widespread nonviolent action will challenge their policies
effectively."
However, an Israeli military spokeswoman said the raid was
conducted "in order to prevent terror activity, Israeli forces
operated overnight in Ramallah." She did not elaborate futher.
The Stop the Wall campaign office was raided by Israeli forces in
February 2010, a month after Israel freed Juma from jail.
He had been incarcerated under Israel´s administrative detention laws
in 2009 for suspicion of terror activity.
Security officials speaking on condition of anonymity told Arutz
Sheva that that several grassroots activist groups claiming to be non-
violent pass information they collect on troop movements and security
arrangements to terror groups. (IsraelNationalNews © 2012 05/08/12)
