UW grad in Israeli prison

A Madison woman is being detained in an Israeli prison awaiting a judge-ordered deportation. Kelly Bornshlegel, who has an Israeli visa, was arrested last week in the village of Bil’in, west of Ramallah.

Reached by cell phone Friday at the Hadera Deportation Prison, Bornshlegel said she was arrested while filming a protest against construction of the separation wall between Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories.
