Student expelled to Gaza Strip by force – The Independent

 

A Palestinian student has been handcuffed, blindfolded and forcibly expelled to the Gaza Strip by Israeli troops just two months before she was due to graduate from university.

Shoot, you don’t need secret documents to tell you that… but viva WikiLeaks either way.
