IOF Arrests Palestinian Patient at Erez Crossing on His Way to the Gaza Strip

At approximately 7pm on Wednesday 23 March 2011, Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) arrested Wesam Abu Samra, 26, while he was at the Erez crossing between Gaza and Israel.
According to Al Mezan's field investigations, Abu Samra traveled to Jordan for medical treatment via the Rafah crossing.
He stayed in Jordan along with another 25 patients for three months.
Due to the difficulty in returning via the Rafah crossing, coordination was arranged to allow the patients to return to Gaza via Erez crossing.
When the patients arrived at the Erez crossing, the Israeli Security Agency (ISA) summoned five of them for interrogation.
Abu Samra was arrested and referred to Ashkelon prison.
He  was still in detention  when this  news was being published at 10:30am on Sunday 3 April 2011.
