U.S. Activist’s Case Against Army to Reopen
Israel’s Supreme Court ordered the military to reopen the case of a U.S. activist who accused Israeli troops of seriously wounding him in the West Bank without provocation.
Brian Avery, 26, of Chapel Hill, N.C., was shot in the face in Jenin on April 5, 2003. He was part of a contingent from the International Solidarity Movement, a pro-Palestinian group.
Avery said he and a colleague were wearing bright red vests and were standing still with their hands over their heads when soldiers in approaching military vehicles opened fire.
