Popular Committee Leader of Al Ma'asara Prevented from Traveling to Europe
Mahmoud Zwahra, member of the Popular Struggle Coordination Committee and of Al Ma'sara Popular Committee against the wall, was stopped today on his way to Europe at Allenby Bridge by the Israeli authorities and was denied travelling outside, although he has all the necessary documentation (visa, and flight ticket). He was not given any explanation, and when he insisted on getting one, he was violently removed from the bridge.
He was scheduled to meet various groups in diplomats in different European countries for advocacy.
In the past, several human rights Palestinian activists and members of the popular committees were also denied travelling in an attempt to silence Palestinian voices in the international arena.
