IOA orders temporary exile of Silwan inhabitant

[ 29/11/2010 - 04:50 PM ]

OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)-- The Israeli police in occupied Jerusalem delivered a notification to Adnan Ghaith, an activist in defense of Silwan lands, ordering him not to approach occupied Jerusalem and its environs for four months.

The occupation police contacted Ghaith over the telephone on Sunday and handed him the order, to which he has 14 days to appeal.

Ghaith, for his part, said that he would combat the order with all available legal means, describing his banishment from Jerusalem as "oppressive".

Ghaith was repeatedly detained lately by the Israeli occupation authority (IOA) and held under house arrest for many times.

The popular committees in Silwan, south of the Aqsa Mosque, denounced the decision, charging that it violated the international law.

A Silwan inhabitant expressed concern that the decision might herald the start of large-scale demolition of Silwan property.

OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)-- The Israeli occupation authority (IOA) forcibly evicted a number of families from their apartments in a building in Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood in occupied Jerusalem, media sources in the holy city reported on Monday.

They said that Israeli occupation police and soldiers stormed the building and forced around 50 individuals out of their homes and threw their furniture in the street.

Um Hafez, one of the owners of those apartments, told Al-Arab website that police officers blocked her from entering her apartment as she was in Ramallah during the incident and rushed back to her home.

She warned Palestinians living outside occupied Palestine and have real-estate property in Jerusalem not to file eviction complaints as the real-estate are then automatically transferred to the jurisdiction of the IOA according to the law of the absentees' property, which means their eventual confiscation.
