An outrage. Israeli forces in the West Bank have arrested the publisher and founding CEO of Profile Books, Andrew Franklin, along with a large group of international visitors supporting the olive harvest. They are currently detained and en route to an interrogation centre for possible deportation.

No, thank heavens. Sorry for not posting an update. They were held for several hours on Wednesday and then released without charge that evening. Yesterday they were back working in the olive orchards, fortunately without firther interference
