A SWANSEA woman has recalled the moment she was arrested by Israeli police in an early-morning raid while volunteering in the occupied West Bank.

D. Murphy, who is originally from Cork in Ireland, has lived in Swansea for more than 40 years and had been visiting the West Bank as a human rights observer with the International Solidarity Movement (ISM) when she was arrested last month.

She has been going to the West Bank, particularly the village Kha-let Al-Daba’a in Masafer Yatta, for more than 20 years.

Ms Murphy and fellow activist Susanne Björk, 48, a Swedish citizen, were arrested by Israeli police on May 31 after being accused of being in a closed military zone. She has since returned home to Wales after reportedly being detained for 10 days.
