Interview with Tommy Donnelan Irish activist in the West Bank – 3 May 2010

Declan O’ Shea speaks with Tommy Donnelan, Irish Activist presently in the village of Bil’in, West Bank.

While filming a non-violent protest against the role of Irish cement multinational CRH in building Israel’s apartheid wall in the village of Bil’in, Mr. Donnellan was rushed by an Israeli snatch-squad of 4 or 5 soldiers. His throat and shirt were grabbed, his gas mask was torn off, and after being wrestled to the ground he was arrested. During the arrest he sustained a 3 inch gash to his right leg and was bleeding heavily from his left ear, from which a piece was torn off. About two hours later he was released without charge.
