Awake Goy Badee Dwaik is a prominent Palestinian activist in the occupied territories. He leads nonviolent protests against the Jewish colonization of Hebron. He has set a courageous example for international visitors under the most extreme provocations.
Last night heavily armed Israeli forces raided his home and attacked Dwaik, because Dwaik was planning to go to nonviolent protests today in the villages of Khurssa and Dura outside Hebron. The commander threatened him and warned him against taking part in those actions.
American media regularly condemn such police actions in Turkey, China and Russia. Where is the outrage over the treatment of a human rights activist inside his home by occupation forces of America’s closest ally in the world? Dwaik has been arrested and jailed several times before.
We will update this story as we hear about the protests today in the occupied West Bank.
Israeli forces raid Badee Dwaik’s home.
Here is the press release from Human Rights Defenders:
The founder of Human Rights Defenders group in Hebron, Badee Dwaik, has just had his home raided by Israeli occupation forces. The commander in charge threatened that if Badee took part in the non-violent actions planned tomorrow in Khurssa for Dura, he will be arrested.
They beat him and the same commander warned him that they will keep coming to raid his home and intimidate him and his family as long as Badee continues his work in Human Rights Defenders, exposing Israeli and settler crimes against Palestinians in occupied Hebron.
This is not the first time that Badee and indeed other members of Human Rights Defenders,have been intimidated, beaten and their family homes invaded due to the nature of their work.
