Soldiers arrested two photographers and a Red Crescent medical team during the weekly demonstration in Ni'ilin today. This is the second time in recent month that medics have been the target of arrests.

The European Union's High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Catherine Ashton, strongly condemned the conviction of Bil'in resident Abdallah Abu Rahmah by a military court yesterday.

Protest organizer Abdallah Abu Rhamah from Bil'in was convicted of incitement and organizing illegal demonstrations today, after an eight months long military trial, during which he was kept behind bars. He was acquitted of a stone-throwing charge and a vindictive arms-possession charge.
