Israel Detains Palestinian Youth Activist Fadi Quran 
-----------------------------------------------------



A prominent Palestinian youth activist named Fadi Quran was arrested and
detained by Israeli authorities Friday while demonstrating in Hebron,
West Bank. Video posted online shows Israeli soldiers violently grabbing
Quran and then smashing his head into the bumper of a van. Quran is a
U.S. citizen who graduated from Stanford University. Time Magazine
recently profiled Quran, describing him as a key leader of a new
nonviolent youth movement in the Occupied Territories.
