June 3, 2008: Ashraf Abu Rahme was released from Israeli enforced detention after 8000 NIS bail was paid on behalf of him, yet he remains under house arrest.

Ashraf was arrested on monday May 26 when Israeli settlers from the Matityahu East settlement, protected by the Israeli army, started construction work looking to expand their settlement further onto the Bil’in’s land. Ashraf managed to scale one of the settler cranes, holding a Palestinian flag. He remained there and succeeded in stopping the work for six hours before being forced down and arrested by Israeli police.
