Andrea Whitmore of Citizens for Justice in the Middle East passes along a note she received today from a friend in the occupied village of Jayyous, Palestine. "The man is in his 20s, a college student, responsible and hard working. This sort of thing is, of course, routine. You’d get most of the spelling but just in case I put in parentheses the ones you might find peculiar."
Dear Friends,
This week the Israeli army spend most of the time every day in the village without any reason and they tear gas and sound pump (sound bomb) and make a lot of noisy for the people. Last night at 11:30 in the night I was in my work in the internet café and they come to my internet by badway and start shouting and they shoot sound pump (shoot sound bomb) inside the room and after that they took me from work with four of my friend out side and they put the hand cuff and hide our eyes so we don’t see any thing and they put us in the jeab (Jeep) and they drive us for one hour to another area and they stop there and took photos of each one of us and he say, ‘when I come to the village if any one throw stones of us we will arrest you again’ and they let us leave at 1 in the middle of the night and it was far a way from our village and we don’t have car to go home, and we don’t know where we are. We spend a half of hour waking until we find car took us to my village, Jayyous .
