International human rights activist Angie Zelter "persona non
grata" in Israel
After the verdict in the Tel-Aviv District Court in which judge
Ruth Eliaz upheld the deportation order, a large group of peace
activists - among them Rabbi Arik Asherman - surrounded
internationally recognized UK human rights activist Angie Zelter in
an effort to prevent police from taking her and were themselves
forcibly removed from the courtroom by security personnel. (Most of
them know Angie personally from having picked olives together.)
Yesterday, Zelter was already forcibly put on a plane, only to be returned because the pilot of Austrian Airlines refused to take her against her wish. She had come to Israel to testify in the trial of Frank Carmel, a Kiryat Arba settler who had assaulted her last year.
Zelter's lawyer, Adv. Shammai Leibowitz started proceedings to
get an injunction from the Supreme Court to stop the the
deportation pending an appeal.
