Keeping
the peace


by Mary Aboud

In the aftermath of the violence at Birzeit University, at least one hundred students have been arrested and more picked up for questioning. Critics are calling the arrests a violation of the campus climate - at least one place where freedom of expression must be upheld. But student snitches have been chipping away at that climate of freedom for some time now, PR reports.


While Israeli troops have redeployed to the edge of the Gaza Strip and from all or part of seven West Bank cities, the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territory is by no means finished. The JMCC seeks to keep a record of acts of Israeli violence (both military and civilian), and collective punishment. The following figures are for the week February 23 to March 1 and were compiled from the Palestinian press and JMCC sources. They should not be considered a complete list of the ongoing Israeli violations of human rights of Palestinians.

EVICTEDNineteen families from the villages of Janbah, Bir Ghawanmeh and Daqiq.
