Irish protestor arrested by Israeli soldiers
Israeli soldiers have arrested a 25-year-old Irish citizen during a peaceful protest against the Israeli occupation near the West bank city of Nablus.
Salah Afifi, an architect from Ranelagh in Dublin, was one of 30 members of the International Solidarity Movement taking part in the protest on a road built solely for the use of Jewish settlers living on Palestinian land.
Mr Afifi was taken to a police station in the Jewish settlement of Ariel, according to Colm Breathnach, another Irish ISM member who is currently in Nablus.
Mr Breathnach said he will probably be transferred to an Israeli prison and deported back to Ireland.
