>Harassment of Israeli embassy protesters

>I have just returned from a lunchtime visit to
>the tree occupation at the Israeli embassy,
>opposite Durys hotel in Ballsbridge. Two young
>women are still up the trees there although as
>Natashia had to go Tracey has replaced her.
>Venus has now been up the tree for nearly 48
>hours. I had met them both in Cork at the
>Grassroots Gathering where they had heard that a
>friend of theirs, Caoimhe Butterly was in Yassar
>Arafat?s office. They decided to protest at the
>embassy until she and another women Mary Kelly
>was safe.
>
>Last night was quite positive with around 40
>people visiting the tree sit in, at one point
>around 15 were present and several more joined
>them in the trees. This means that both women
>are now in the same tree and that they are well
>supplied with blankets.
>
>However at Seven O?clock this morning the three
>Gardai at the foot of the tree (numbers E137,
>E97, E142) were joined by three more in a van.
>This group proceeded to steal all the protesters
>equipment on the ground, which included
>petitions that people passing had signed protest
>signs and food. When the women in the tree
>asked them not to remove their equipment they
>did not reply and just jeered them. When asked
>by the lone supporter on the ground not to
>remove the equipment they threatened him with
>arrest for vagrancy.
>
>When I asked E97 who was still on duty under
>what law they had done this he said it was under
>the litter act because the material was
>abandoned. When I pointed out that it was
>clearly not abandoned and that this in any case
>would have been the responsibility of a litter
>warden he refused to reply and told me that he
>would answer no further questions.
>
>This was a continuation of the petty harassment
>that was going on yesterday. It emerged that
>the Gardai had also threatened to impound Frodo,
>the dog belonging to Venus who had been sitting
>patently at the foot of the tree. They had also
>been stopping supporters leaving the area and
>demanding to know their names and addresses. A
>protester cycling away from the area who briefly
>mounted a pavement on his bike before
>dismounting was stopped by Gardai and told he
>would be summoned for cycling on the pavement.
>
>It is noticeable that the Gardai hare not
>engaging in this sort of harassment when there
>are any number of people around, in particular
>if anyone has a camera. Indeed when I was
>taking pictures the Guard on duty scuttled to
>the other side of the tree to be out of camera
>shot. If you are in the area please stop at the
>protest for a while each time you pass by and
>say hi. If you don?t live or work nearby please
>try and get down to the protest for a couple of
>hours. They intend to stay up the trees but you
>can check they are still there by ringing Amanda
>on 087 4129579.
