Ramallah, Palestine – Mariam Barghouti, a 20-year old student, was arrested on April 11th at the Palestinian village of Nabi Saleh. She was accused by two soldiers of the Israeli Barashot unit, that since recently has been deployed around the village, of having thrown stones at the Israeli army.

This fabricated accusation was contradicted by many witnesses at the scene. She was translating for journalists on the scene of Israeli aggression against the villagers of Nabi Saleh, not participating in any stone-throwing.

 

In the mean time, the Barashot unit of the Israeli occupation army has been clamping down violently on the village of Nabi Saleh, effectively placing it under siege.

Mariam Barghouti went on trial on Sunday, but her detention was extended until Wednesday 16th. A Facebook page for this cause has already been started.
