Stop Business.

After being arrested from his home in the middle of the night by Israeli forces on April 11th, Mousa Abu Maria, co-founder of the Palestine Solidarity Project remains in administrative detention, being held without charge or trial. PSP is a peace and justice organization that advocates and agitates for popular unarmed resistance to the occupation, and works on projects to increase Palestinian self-sufficiency. 

If you’re in the cities, you may have seen Bekah Wolf, another PSP member speak at Macalester. Mousa is Bekah’s longtime partner and friend. She appears in the video below posted on the PSP site which gets a little schmultzy and sentimental, but is still worth watching. 

Two ways to help:

1. By contacting your governmental representatives to demand that they inquire into Mousa’s unjust detention with the Israeli foreign ministry in their respective country.

2. By holding a fundraiser, benefit, or personally donating to PSP and to Mousa’s legal fund via the website:

or by writing a check made out to PSP-NY and mailing it to:

This morning, Friday April 11, at 4 am Israeli security forces (Shabak) raided the home of Mousa Abu Maria and kidnapped him. Mousa co-founded the Palestine Solidarity Project and has been a supporter of non-violence for several years. Mousa was last in the custody of the Shabak in 1999 when he was held for more than 3 months and tortured after which he spent more than a week in the hospital. His current location is not known but we will send updates as soon as new information is available. Please consider making a donation to PSP to cover his anticipated legal costs.
