Police nix rally in support of Palestinian prisoners

A group of Palestinians asked to hold a demonstration outside the Damascus Gate in Jerusalem in support of hunger-striking Palestinian prisoners, and were rejected by police.

Police say they arrested a Palestinian woman who organized the protest and who refused to heed the police officers’ orders not to hold the demonstration.

She is being held for questioning. The remainder of the demonstrators dispersed.
