On July 9th 2008, the villagers of Nil'in demonstrated in commemoration of the 2004 International Court of Justice ruling which stated that the apartheid wall being built by Israel is illegal. During the demonstration, Israeli military forces arrested Nil'in residents, Samer Mustafa Ahmed Nafe, 33, Ahmad Mustafa Ahmed Nafe, 26 and Hassan Yussef Hassan Amira, 36. They are currently being held in Ofer military detention facility.
4000 NIS is needed to cover the cost of their legal representation. The ISM have managed to raise 2500 NIS of this money, but we need donations to cover the final 1500 NIS of the cost. If you can provide help to cover these legal expenses so as to support Ni'lin's popular resistance to the annexation of their land please email palreports@gmail.com or call 02-2971824, specifying that you would like to contribute to the legal expenses of those arrested in Ni'lin.

Break the siege, stop the fence --
A mass demonstration in Ni'alin
An especially big demonstration will be held in the village of Ni'alin on the morning of the coming Thursday, commemorating the anniversary of The Hague ruling which defined the Apartheid Wall a crime.The village of Ni'alin, which is located in the Ramallah district, has for more than a month now been leading an intense struggle against the de-facto appropriation of 2,500 of its 7,000 dunams of land by the "separation fence". The route of the fence in this area, much like the famous case of Bil'in, has been planned in such a way that would allow the near by illegal settlement of Hashmonaim to expand on lands that will be "left behind" the fence.

The village of Ni'alin, which is located in the Ramallah district, has for more than a month now been leading an intense struggle against the de-facto appropriation of 2,500 of its 7,000 dunams of land by the "separation fence". The route of the fence in this area, much like the famous case of Bil'in, has been planned in such a way that would allow the near by illegal settlement of Hashmonaim to expand on lands that will be "left behind" the fence.
The villagers, who refuse to accept this, hold three-four demonstrations a week, marching towards the construction site and the settlement, in many cases successfully forcing a halt of construction.
The army, however, is responding with growing ferocity. According to the army spokesperson, an entire regiment was relocated to guard the construction, and these soldiers use brutal force against the unarmed demonstrators. On Friday the village was put under a ten-day siege, and residents were informed it was a punishment for the demonstrations. During the weekend an attempt was made to enforce a curfew on the village, but the villagers' active resistance changed the army's plans.
