Hi Friends,

It's been a crazy couple of weeks.   Settlers have attacked children on their way to summer camp four times.  During one of these attacks, they also beat my teammate Joel Gulledge with a stone and his own video camera.  He was send to the hospital, but is now out and seems to being doing as well emotionally as one could possibly expect.  Following the attack, Palestinians organized a march to Tuba, which was tremendously successful.  They were able to march up and down a road that they haven't been able to use for 11 years.  However, during the demonstration, my teammate Kristin was arrested.  She may still face deportation.  You can find more information on the CPT website (www.cpt.org) and even more at my blog: inpalestine.blogspot.com

I'm personally begging you to do what you can to help end the violence in the South Hebron Hills.  The Israeli police have done nothing to apprehend the settlers who have attacked the children.  Please call the police station and demand that they do so.  Don''t be shy - the worse that can happen is that the telephone operator will be rude to you!  If you have it, skype should making calling them very easy.

I deeply appreciate your support and help.

Yours,
Joy

At-Tuwani: Urgent Action Update
3 Sunday 2008

On Sunday 3 August 2008, human rights worker Kristin Anderson was released from Israeli police custody, but the Israeli police have taken no steps to prevent setter violence in the South Hebron Hills. CPT urges you to contact the Israeli police at Kiryat Arba and demand immediate action to prevent further setter attacks on Palestinian school children.  Over the last two weeks settlers have attacked Palestinian children on their way to summer camp four times.  Settlers continue to yell, chase, curse, and throw rocks at the children, while Israeli police refuse to apprehend perpetrators.  In November 2004 the Israeli Knesset declared that the Israeli police are responsible for apprehending violent settlers.

Please call the police and demand justice:
Kiryat Arba Contact Numbers:
972-2996-9444
972-2996-9494
972-2996-9424
(Add your applicable country code first)
