The latest from the U.S. Consulate General in Jerusalem (USCG) is that Mazin is being held in Ofer prison as a detainee, and a hearing is scheduled on 19 May 2011. They are aware of the many calls people made calling for Mazin’s release. They said at this moment, any additional calls would not change Mazin’s status. Regardless of that statement, I urge people to continue to file complaint to President Obama and to the US State Department of the ongoing discrimination against US citizens of Palestinian decent. Two other US citizens were also detained with Mazin at Al-Walaja but were released at 1 a.m. this morning, while Mazin is continued being held. Let’s also demand our government to stop supporting Apartheid Israel in our names and demand justice for all Palestinian nonviolent protesters being detained.
The following compilation of videos, pictures and some articles on Nakba Demonstration yesterday was forwarded from a friend and I include them here for your information:

GAZA (IN FRONT OF ERETZ):
(I still don't know if and how many people were killed, last I heard, around 60 were injured, 15 seriously, and friends reported that army shot to kill; also, I am not sure what the situation is now, I had heard that people
were staying in the buffer zone and that Israel had threatened with some military action if they didn't move.

Peace,

As of now at local time Monday morning 2 a.m. May 16, 2011, Mazin is still being detained. His cell phone battery died as he called and wanted me to write down the names and countries of the seven internationals that were detained with him so that I can get help calling their respective country's embassy (Ireland, USA, Canada, Germany, Netherland.) Later he borrowed someone else's phone to call and let me know that all the internationals would be released shortly, but not him and other Palestinians. For them, he said, maybe days. He wanted me to follow up with the lawyer. He sounded in good spirit and did not seem to be mistreated. I will keep you updated.
Your calls to the U.S. State Department, Senators, Congresspersons, and foreign governments if you are non-US nationals should also help.
Here is a video that he took up to the moment when he was arrested. He managed to pass on the video to a friend before being taken away.

Many of you wrote in response to the earlier e-mail breaking the news of Mazin's arrest. Our family greatly appreciate that. Please understand that they may not be replied individually due to the overwhelming responses. I will send updates as they become available.
Hope I have good news to share with you tomorrow.
