Frank Thomas, Secretary of SPSC Edinburgh: 

After informing Israeli passport-control staff at Tel-Aviv that his onward destination was Bethlehem, where he had been invited to visit Palestinian families, he was jailed for almost a week before being deported back to the UK.

ISM (International Solidarity Movement) volunteer, Fiona Law, recently returned from the West Bank.

Chaired by SPSC chair, Mick Napier.

Mick is pictured here on his arrest at Tel-Aviv’s Ben Gurion Airport, before being jailed and deported alongside Frank and over 100 others. Around 600 more were prevented from boarding planes to Tel Aviv by airlines in their home countries.
