ISM activist allowed to enter Israel after a month in lockup

<snip>

"The Tel Aviv District Court yesterday authorized the entry into Israel of a pro-Palestinian activist after she was held at Ben-Gurion Airport's detention center for a month. The court imposed restrictions on her activities here.

Anne Robinson-Petter, a 44-year-old New Yorker who is an activist with the International Solidarity Movement, was held on the grounds that she posed "a security risk to the state."

The court ruled that the Shin Bet security service's information on Robinson-Petter was convincing but was not sufficient to prevent her entry into Israel."

"Two other human rights activists - Jamie Spector, 32, from San Francisco, and Christine Grefer, 46, from the Netherlands - who wished to protest against the separation fence, are also being detained at the airport."

1. Activists
This again shows the democratic nature of the state of Israel. The petition was heard by the court and a compromise was worked out. She'll have to prove that her word is good, and not become engaged in violent protests.
