World Briefing | Middle East: Israel Reopens Inquiry Into Activist?s Injury

The Israeli police on Wednesday agreed to re-investigate the 2009 injury of an American activist during a clash between Israeli security forces and protesters against the extension of Israel?s separation barrier in the West Bank. The activist, Tristan Anderson of Oakland, Calif., then 38, was hit in the head by a tear-gas canister in the village of Nilin, and remains partially paralyzed and without sight in one eye. Yesh Din, an Israeli human rights organization, appealed to Israel?s High Court of Justice after the police closed the investigation without indicting any of the soldiers involved, and on Wednesday the court?s justices urged the police to reopen the case. The protests in Nilin were part of a series of weekly demonstrations in Palestinian villages affected by the separation barrier that have been conducted for years and sometimes lead to violent clashes with Israeli soldiers and the border police.
