One of the guards came up to me and asked if I was there to save Gaza's children, then he punched me in the stomach, Alon-Lee Green said, recounting his experience in an Israeli prison this week. Green and eight others were arrested on Sunday for protesting with about 600 others along Israel's border with Gaza, spending two nights and almost three days in prison before being placed under house arrest.
"With 3km to go, those protesters came onto the road. Suddenly, there was someone in front of me with a ribbon and who knows what else he had. I came to a complete standstill..."
The Los Angeles city attorney's office will not file charges against most protesters arrested during last year's Gaza demonstrations, with only two set to be charged.
