TEL AVIV, July 29, 2005 (WAFA)- International Solidarity Movement (ISM) said a Swedish peace activist was held at Ben Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv.

In a press release, ISM said Swedish peace activist Shora Esmailian arrived 15.00 Wednesday and was interrogated for ten consecutive hours.

A representative from the Israeli army in charge of the interrogation demanded information from Esmailian about certain Palestinians involved in nonviolent demonstrations against the occupation of Palestininian lands.

It's not certain that Esmailian even has any information, however, Israeli authorities appear to be blackmailing her for entry into the country.
